Ezra:4:1-5
acv@Ezra:4:1 @ Now when the adversaries of Judah and Benjamin heard that the sons of the captivity were building a temple to LORD, the God of Israel,
acv@Ezra:4:2 @ then they drew near to Zerubbabel, and to the heads of fathers, and said to them, Let us build with you, for we seek your God, as ye do, and we sacrifice to him since the days of Esar-haddon king of Assyria who brought us up here.
acv@Ezra:4:3 @ But Zerubbabel, and Jeshua, and the rest of the heads of fathers of Israel, said to them, Ye have nothing to do with us in building a house to our God, but we ourselves together will build to LORD, the God of Israel, as king Cyrus
acv@Ezra:4:4 @ Then the people of the land weakened the hands of the people of Judah, and troubled them in building,
acv@Ezra:4:5 @ and hired counselors against them to frustrate their purpose all the days of Cyrus king of Persia, even until the reign of Darius king of Persia.
