Thy servants{H5649} the men{H606} on this side{H5675} the river{H5103}, and at such a time{H3706}. 12 Be it{H1934}{(H8748)} known{H3046}{(H8752)} unto the king{H4430}, that the Jews{H3062} which{H1768} came up{H5559}{(H8760)} from{H4481} thee{H3890} to us{H5922} are come{H858}{(H8754)} unto Jerusalem{H3390}, building{H1124}{(H8750)} the rebellious{H4779} and the bad{H873} city{H7149}, and have set up{H3635}{(H8806)}{(H8675)}{H3635}{(H8720)} the walls{H7792} thereof, and joined{H2338}{(H8681)} the foundations{H787}. 13 Be it known{H3046}{(H8752)}{H1934}{(H8748)} now{H3705} unto the king{H4430}, that, if{H2006} this{H1791} city{H7149} be builded{H1124}{(H8731)}, and the walls{H7792} set up{H3635}{(H8720)} again, then will they not{H3809} pay{H5415}{(H8748)} toll{H4061}, tribute{H1093}, and custom{H1983}, and so thou shalt endamage{H5142}{(H8681)} the revenue{H674} of the kings{H4430}. 14 Now{H3705} because{H6903}{H3606} we have{H1768} maintenance{H4415}{(H8754)}{H4416} from the king's palace{H1965}, and it was not{H3809} meet{H749}{(H8750)} for us to see{H2370}{(H8749)} the king's{H4430} dishonour{H6173}, therefore{H5922}{H1836} have we sent{H7972}{(H8754)} and certified{H3046}{(H8684)} the king{H4430}; 15 That search{H1240}{(H8741)} may be made in the book{H5609} of the records{H1799} of thy fathers{H2}: so shalt thou find{H7912}{(H8681)} in the book{H5609} of the records{H1799}, and know{H3046}{(H8748)} that this{H1791} city{H7149} is a rebellious{H4779} city{H7149}, and hurtful{H5142}{(H8683)} unto kings{H4430} and provinces{H4083}, and that they have moved{H5648}{(H8751)} sedition{H849} within the same{H1459} of{H4481} old{H5957} time{H3118}: for{H5922} which{H1836} cause was this{H1791} city{H7149} destroyed{H2718}{(H8717)}. 16 We{H586} certify{H3046}{(H8683)} the king{H4430} that, if{H2006} this{H1791} city{H7149} be builded{H1124}{(H8731)} again, and the walls{H7792} thereof set up{H3635}{(H8720)}, by this{H1836} means{H6903} thou shalt have{H383} no{H3809} portion{H2508} on this side{H5675} the river{H5103}. 17 Then sent{H7972}{(H8754)} the king{H4430} an answer{H6600} unto{H5922} Rehum{H7348} the chancellor{H1169}{H2942}, and to Shimshai{H8124} the scribe{H5613}, and to the rest{H7606} of their companions{H3675} that dwell{H3488}{(H8750)} in Samaria{H8115}, and unto the rest{H7606} beyond{H5675} the river{H5103}, Peace{H8001}, and at such a time{H3706}. 18 The letter{H5407} which ye sent{H7972}{(H8754)} unto us{H5922} hath been plainly{H6568}{(H8744)} read{H7123}{(H8752)} before{H6925} me. 19 And I{H4481} commanded{H7761}{(H8752)}{H2942}, and search{H1240}{(H8745)} hath been made, and it is found{H7912}{(H8684)} that this{H1791} city{H7149} of{H4481} old{H5957} time{H3118} hath made insurrection{H5376}{(H8723)} against{H5922} kings{H4430}, and that rebellion{H4776} and sedition{H849} have been made{H5648}{(H8727)} therein. 20 There have been{H1934}{(H8754)} mighty{H8624} kings{H4430} also over{H5922} Jerusalem{H3390}, which have ruled{H7990} over all{H3606} countries beyond{H5675} the river{H5103}; and toll{H4061}, tribute{H1093}, and custom{H1983}, was paid{H3052}{(H8727)} unto them. 21 Give{H7761}{(H8747)} ye now{H3705} commandment{H2942} to cause{H989} these{H479} men{H1400} to cease{H989}{(H8749)}, and that this{H1791} city{H7149} be not{H3809} builded{H1124}{(H8731)}, until{H5705} another commandment{H2941} shall be given{H7761}{(H8725)} from me{H4481}. 22 Take heed{H1934}{(H8747)}{H2095}{(H8750)} now that ye fail{H7960} not to do{H5922}{H5648}{(H8749)} this{H1836}: why{H4101} should damage{H2257} grow{H7680}{(H8748)} to the hurt{H5142}{(H8682)} of the kings{H4430}? 23 Now{H116} when{H4481}{H1768} the copy{H6573} of king{H4430} Artaxerxes{H783}' letter{H5407} was read{H7123}{(H8752)} before{H6925} Rehum{H7348}, and Shimshai{H8124} the scribe{H5613}, and their companions{H3675}, they went up{H236}{(H8754)} in haste{H924} to Jerusalem{H3390} unto{H5922} the Jews{H3062}, and made them{H1994} to cease{H989}{(H8754)} by force{H153} and power{H2429}.
