beyond{H5675} the River,{H5103} and so forth.{H3706} 12 Be it{H1934} known{H3046} unto the king,{H4430} that the Jews{H3062} that{H1768} came up{H5559} from{H4481} thee{H3890} are come{H858} to us{H5922} unto Jerusalem;{H3390} they are building{H1124} the rebellious{H4779} and the bad{H873} city,{H7149} and have finished{H3635} the walls,{H7792} and repaired{H2338} the foundations.{H787} 13 Be it known{H3046} now{H3705} unto the king,{H4430} that, if{H2006} this{H1791} city{H7149} be builded,{H1124} and the walls{H7792} finished,{H3635} they will not{H3809} pay{H5415} tribute,{H1093} custom,{H1983} or toll,{H4061} and in the end it will be hurtful{H5142} unto{H674} the kings.{H4430} 14 Now{H3705} because{H6903} we eat{H1768} the salt{H4415} of the palace,{H1965} and it is not{H3809} meet{H749} for us to see{H2370} the king's{H4430} dishonor,{H6173} therefore{H5922} have we sent{H7972} and certified{H3046} the king;{H4430} 15 that search{H1240} may be made in the book{H5609} of the records{H1799} of thy fathers:{H2} so shalt thou find{H7912} in the book{H5609} of the records,{H1799} and know{H3046} that this{H1791} city{H7149} is a rebellious{H4779} city,{H7149} and hurtful{H5142} unto kings{H4430} and provinces,{H4083} and that they have moved{H5648} sedition{H849} within the same{H1459} of{H4481} old{H5957} time;{H3118} for{H5922} which{H1836}

this{H1836} means{H6903} thou shalt have{H383} no{H3809} portion{H2508} beyond{H5675} the River.{H5103} 17 [ Then] sent{H7972} the king{H4430} an answer{H6600} unto{H5922} Rehum{H7348} the chancellor,{H1169} and to{H5922} Shimshai{H8124} the scribe,{H5613} and to the rest{H7606} of their companions{H3675} that dwell{H3488} in Samaria,{H8115} and in the rest{H7606} [of the country] beyond{H5675} the River:{H5103} Peace,{H8001} and so forth. 18 The letter{H5407} which ye sent{H7972} unto us{H5922} hath been plainly{H6568} read{H7123} before{H6925} me. 19 And I{H4481} decreed,{H7761} and search{H1240} hath been made, and it is found{H7912} that this{H1791} city{H7149} of{H4481} old{H5957} time{H3118} hath made insurrection{H5376} against{H5922} kings,{H4430} and that rebellion{H4776} and sedition{H849} have been made{H5648} therein. 20 There have been{H1934} mighty{H8624} kings{H4430} also over{H5922} Jerusalem,{H3390} who have ruled{H7990} over all{H3606} [the country] beyond{H5675} the River;{H5103} and tribute,{H1093} custom,{H1983} and toll,{H4061} was paid{H3052} unto them. 21 Make{H7761} ye now{H3705} a decree{H2942} to cause{H989} these{H479} men{H1400} to cease,{H989} and that this{H1791} city{H7149} be not{H3809} builded,{H1124} until{H5705} a decree{H2941} shall be made{H7761} by me.{H4481} 22 And take heed{H1934} that ye be{H5922} not slack{H7960} herein:{H1836} why{H4101} should damage{H2257} grow{H7680} to the hurt{H5142} of the kings?{H4430} 23 Then when{H4481} the copy{H6573} of king{H4430} Artaxerxes'{H783} letter{H5407} was read{H7123} before{H6925} Rehum,{H7348} and Shimshai{H8124} the scribe,{H5613} and their companions,{H3675} they went in haste{H924} to{H5922} Jerusalem{H3390} unto{H5922} the Jews,{H3062} and made them{H1994} to{H5922} cease{H989} by force{H153} and power.{H2429} 24 Then{H116} ceased{H989} the work{H5673} of the house{H1005} of God{H426} which is at Jerusalem;{H3390} and it ceased{H1934}
