Ezra 6:6-8

6“Now as for you, 1Tattenai, governor of the province beyond the Euphrates River, Shethar-bozenai, and 2your colleagues, the officials of the provinces beyond the River, 3stay away from there.

7Leave that work on the house of God alone; let the governor of the Jews and the elders of the Jews rebuild that house of God on its site.

8Furthermore, 4I issue a decree concerning what you are to do for these elders of Judah in the rebuilding of that house of God: the full cost is to be paid to those people from the royal treasury out of the taxes of the provinces beyond the Euphrates River, and that without interruption.
