Ezra 4:19-22 And an order was given by me, and search was made, and it was found that this city from the most ancient time hath lifted itself up against kings, and that rebellion and sedition have been practised therein.

Leeser⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁹ And an order was given by me, and search was made, and it was found that this city from the most ancient time hath lifted itself up against kings, and that rebellion and sedition have been practised therein. ²⁰ And that mighty kings have been over Jerusalem, who ruled over all the countries beyond the river; and that tax, tribute, and toll was given unto them. ²¹ Now give ye the order to stop these men, and this city shall not be built, until the order be given from me. ²² Take heed now that ye commit no error in this: that not any injury may grow out of this to the damage of the kings.
