Ezra 4:1-5

Now when the adversaries
<06862>
of Judah
<03063>
and Benjamin
<01144>
heard
<08085> (8799)
that the children
<01121>
of the captivity
<01473>
builded
<01129> (8802)
the temple
<01964>
unto the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_;
{the children...: Heb. the sons of the transportation}
Then they came
<05066> (8799)
to Zerubbabel
<02216>_,
and to the chief
<07218>
of the fathers
<01>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, Let us build
<01129> (8799)
with you: for we seek
<01875> (8799)
your God
<0430>_,
as ye [do]; and we do sacrifice
<02076> (8802)
unto him since the days
<03117>
of Esarhaddon
<0634>
king
<04428>
of Assur
<0804>_,
which brought us up hither
<05927> (8688)_.
But Zerubbabel
<02216>_,
and Jeshua
<03442>_,
and the rest
<07605>
of the chief
<07218>
of the fathers
<01>
of Israel
<03478>_,
said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, Ye have nothing to do with us to build
<01129> (8800)
an house
<01004>
unto our God
<0430>_;
but we ourselves together
<03162>
will build
<01129> (8799)
unto the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_,
as king
<04428>
Cyrus
<03566>
the king
<04428>
of Persia
<06539>
hath commanded
<06680> (8765)
us.
Then the people
<05971>
of the land
<0776>
weakened
<07503> (8764)
the hands
<03027>
of the people
<05971>
of Judah
<03063>_,
and troubled
<0926> (8764) (8675) <01089> (8764)
them in building
<01129> (8800)_,
And hired
<07936> (8802)
counsellors
<03289> (8802)
against them, to frustrate
<06565> (8687)
their purpose
<06098>_,
all the days
<03117>
of Cyrus
<03566>
king
<04428>
of Persia
<06539>_,
even until the reign
<04438>
of Darius
<01867>
king
<04428>
of Persia
<06539>_.
