this
H6573
is the copy
H104
of the letter
H1768
that
H7972 [H8754]
they sent
H5922
to him,
H783
even to Artaxerxes
H4430
the king;
H5649
Thy servants
H606
the men
H5675
on this side
H5103
of the river,
H3706
and now.
12
H1934 [H8748]
let it be
H3046 [H8752]
known
H4430
to the king,
H3062
that the Judeans
H1768
who
H5559 [H8760]
came
H4481
from
H3890
thee
H5922
to us
H858 [H8754]
are come
H3390
to Jerusalem,
H1124 [H8750]
building
H4779
the rebellious
H873
and the evil
H7149
city,
H3635 H3635 [H8806]
and have set up
H7792
the walls,
H2338 [H8681]
and joined
H787
the foundations.
13
H3046 H1934 [H8752]
Be it known
H3705
now
H4430
to the king,
H2006
that, if
H1791
this
H7149
city
H1124 [H8731]
shall be built,
H7792
and the walls
H3635 [H8720]
set up
H3809
again, then they will not
H5415 [H8748]
pay
H4061
toll,
H1093
tribute,
H1983
and custom,
H5142 [H8681]
and so thou shalt diminish
H674
the revenue
H4430
of the kings.
14
H3705
Now
H6903 H3606
because
H1768
we have
H4415 H4416 [H8754]
maintenance
H1965
from the king's palace,
H3809
and it was not
H749 [H8750]
good
H2370 [H8749]
for us to see
H4430
the king's
H6173
dishonour,
H5922 H1836
therefore
H7972 [H8754]
have we sent
H3046 [H8684]
and informed
H4430
the king;
15
H1240 [H8741]
That search
H5609
may be made in the book
H1799
of the records
H2
of thy fathers:
H7912 [H8681]
so shalt thou find
H5609
in the book
H1799
of the records,
H3046 [H8748]
and know
H1791
that this
H7149
city
H4779
is a rebellious
H7149
city,
H5142 [H8683]
and hurtful
H4430
to kings
H4083
and provinces,
H5648 [H8751]
and that they have moved
H849
sedition
H1459
within the same
H4481
from of
H5957 H3118
old:
H5922
for
H1836
which
H1791
cause was this
H7149
city
H2718 [H8717]
laid waste.
