Ezra 4:12-15

12Be it knownH3046 unto the kingH4430, that the JewsH3062 that cameH858 up from thee are comeH858 to us unto JerusalemH3390; they are buildingH1124 the rebellious and the bad cityH7149, and have finishedH3635 the wallsH7792, and repaired the foundationsH787. 13Be it knownH3046 nowH3705 unto the kingH4430, that, if this cityH7149 be builded, and the wallsH7792 finishedH3635, they will not pay tributeH4061, custom, or tollH1983, and in the end it will be hurtful unto the kingsH4430. 14NowH3705 because we eat the saltH4416 of the palaceH1965, and it is not meet for us to seeH2370 the king’sH4430 dishonor, therefore have we sent and certified the kingH4430; 15that searchH1240 may be madeH3046 in the bookH5609 of the records of thy fathersH2: so shalt thou findH7912 in the bookH5609 of the records, and knowH3046 that this cityH7149 is a rebellious cityH7149, and hurtful unto kingsH4430 and provincesH4083, and that they have moved sedition within the same of old time; for which cause was this cityH7149 laid waste.
