17Then the kingH4430 sentH7972 a responseH6600 to RehumH7348 the commanderH1169H2942, ShimshaiH8124 the scribeH5613, and to the restH7606 of their colleaguesH3675 whoH1768 liveH3488 in SamariaH8115 and in the restH7606 of the provinces beyondH5675 the Euphrates RiverH5103: “PeaceH8001. And nowH3706, 18the documentH5407 whichH1768 you sentH7972 to us has been 12translatedH6568 and readH7123 beforeH6925 me. 19And a decreeH2942 has been 3issuedH7761 by me, and a searchH1240 has been conductedH1240 and it has been discoveredH7912 that that cityH7149 has risenH5376 up againstH5922 the kingsH4430 in pastH5957 daysH3118, and that rebellionH4776 and revoltH849 have been perpetratedH5648 in it, 204that mightyH8624 kingsH4430 have 5ruledH1934 overH5922 JerusalemH3390, governingH7990 allH3606 the provinces 6beyondH5675 the Euphrates RiverH5103, and that 7tributeH4061, customH1093 taxH1093, and tollH1983 were paidH3052 to them. 21NowH3705 issueH7761 a decreeH2942 to make thoseH479 menH1400 stopH989 work, so that thisH1791 cityH7149 will not be rebuiltH1124 untilH5704 a decreeH2942 is issuedH7761 by me. 22And bewareH1934 of being negligentH7960 in carryingH5648 outH5648 thisH1836 matter; whyH4101 should there be greatH7680 damageH2257, to the detrimentH5142 of the kingsH4430?”
