* But Zerubbabel , and Jeshua , and the rest of the chief of the fathers of Israel Yisra #el #, said unto them , Ye have nothing to do with us to build an house unto our God ; but we ourselves together will build unto the LORD God of Israel Yisra #el #, as king Cyrus the king of Persia hath commanded us . * Then the people of the land weakened the hands of the people of Judah , and troubled (8675 ) them in building , * And hired counsellors against them , to frustrate their purpose , all the days of Cyrus king of Persia , even until the reign of Darius king of Persia .
