Ezra 5:8-11

8Be it known to the king that we went into the province of Judah, to the house of the great 1God, 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?

10We asked their names also, to inform thee, that we might write the names of the men that were the chief of them.

11And thus they returned us answer, saying, We are the servants of the 2God of the heavens and the earth, and build the house that was built these many years ago; and a great king of Israel built and completed it.
