Ezra:4:2-3
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Then they came to Zerubbabel ,
and to the chief of the fathers ,
and said unto them ,
Let us build with you :
for we seek your God ,
as ye do ;
and we do sacrifice unto him since the days of Esarhaddon #
Ecar-Chaddown #
king of Assur ,
which brought us up hither .
*
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 .
