Ezra 5:5-9

5But the eye of their 1God was upon the elders of the Jews, and they did not make them cease till the matter came to Darius; and then they returned answer by letter concerning it.

6The copy of the letter that Tatnai, governor on this side the river, and Shethar-boznai, and his companions the Apharsachites, who were on this side the river, sent to Darius the king.

7They sent a report to him in which was written thus: To Darius the king, all peace!

8Be it known to the king that we went into the province of Judah, to the house of the great 2God, which is being built with great stones, and timber is laid in the walls, and this work is being carried on with diligence, and prospers in their hand.

9Then asked we those elders: thus we said to them, Who gave you orders to build this house and to complete this wall?
