Ezra 4:17

Context

4:17 The king sent the following response:

“To Rehum the commander, Shimshai the scribe, and the rest of their colleagues who live in Samaria and other parts of Trans-Euphrates: Greetings! 1 

Ezra 4:20

Context
4:20 Powerful kings have been over Jerusalem who ruled throughout the entire Trans-Euphrates 2  and who were the beneficiaries of 3  tribute, custom, and toll.

1 tn Aram “peace.”

2 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.

3 tn Aram “were being given to them.”
