Ezra 4:20

Context
4:20 Powerful kings have been over Jerusalem who ruled throughout the entire Trans-Euphrates 1  and who were the beneficiaries of 2  tribute, custom, and toll.

Ezra 4:22

Context
4:22 Exercise appropriate caution so that there is no negligence in this matter. Why should danger increase to the point that kings sustain damage?”

1 sn The statement that prior Jewish kings ruled over the entire Trans-Euphrates is an overstatement. Not even in the days of David and Solomon did the kingdom of Israel extend its borders to such an extent.

2 tn Aram “were being given to them.”
