1 H6862 Now when the adversaries H3063 of Judah H1144 and Benjamin H8085 heard H1121 that the children H1473 of the captivity H1129 were building H1964 a temple H3068 unto Jehovah, H430 the God H3478 of Israel;

2 H5066 then they drew H2216 near to Zerubbabel, H7218 and to the heads H1 of fathers' H559 houses, and said H1129 unto them, Let us build H1875 with you; for we seek H430 your God, H2076 as ye do; and we sacrifice H3117 unto him since the days H634 of Esar-haddon H4428 king H804 of Assyria, H5927 who brought us up hither.

3 H2216 But Zerubbabel, H3442 and Jeshua, H7605 and the rest H7218 of the heads H1 of fathers' H3478 houses of Israel, H559 said H1129 unto them, Ye have nothing to do with us in building H1004 a house H430 unto our God; H3162 but we ourselves together H1129 will build H3068 unto Jehovah, H430 the God H3478 of Israel, H4428 as king H3566 Cyrus H4428 the king H6539 of Persia H6680 hath commanded us.

4 H5971 Then the people H776 of the land H7503 weakened H3027 the hands H5971 of the people H3063 of Judah, H926 and troubled H1129 them in building,

5 H7936 and hired H3289 counsellors H6565 against them, to frustrate H6098 their purpose, H3117 all the days H3566 of Cyrus H4428 king H6539 of Persia, H4438 even until the reign H1867 of Darius H4428 king H6539 of Persia.
