Ezra 4:4-6

Leeser(i) 4 Then did the people of the land weaken the hands of the people of Judah, and frightened them off from building; 5 And they hired against them counsellors, to frustrate their purpose, all the days of Cyrus the king of Persia, and even until the reign of Darius the king of Persia. 6 And in the reign of Achashverosh, in the beginning of his reign they wrote an accusation against the inhabitants of Judah and Jerusalem.
