Ezra 4:12-16

12Be itH1934 knownH3046 unto the kingH4430, that the JewsH3062 whichH1768 came upH5559 fromH4481 theeH3890 to usH5922 are comeH858 unto JerusalemH3390, buildingH1124 the rebelliousH4779 and the badH873 cityH7149, and have set upH3635 the wallsH7792 thereof, and joinedH2338 the foundationsH787.12

13Be it knownH1934H3046 nowH3705 unto the kingH4430, that, ifH2006 thisH1791 cityH7149 be buildedH1124, and the wallsH7792 set upH3635 again, then will they notH3809 payH5415 tollH4061, tributeH1093, and customH1983, and so thou shalt endamageH5142 the revenueH674 of the kingsH4430.34

14NowH3705 becauseH3606H6903 we haveH1768 maintenanceH4416H4415 from the king’s palaceH1965, and it was notH3809 meetH749 for us to seeH2370 the king’sH4430 dishonourH6173, thereforeH1836H5922 have we sentH7972 and certifiedH3046 the kingH4430;5

15That searchH1240 may be made in the bookH5609 of the recordsH1799 of thy fathersH2: so shalt thou findH7912 in the bookH5609 of the recordsH1799, and knowH3046 that thisH1791 cityH7149 is a rebelliousH4779 cityH7149, and hurtfulH5142 unto kingsH4430 and provincesH4083, and that they have movedH5648 seditionH849 within the sameH1459 ofH4481 oldH5957 timeH3118: forH5922 whichH1836 cause was thisH1791 cityH7149 destroyedH2718.67

16WeH586 certifyH3046 the kingH4430 that, ifH2006 thisH1791 cityH7149 be buildedH1124 again, and the wallsH7792 thereof set upH3635, by thisH1836 meansH6903 thou shalt haveH383 noH3809 portionH2508 on this sideH5675 the riverH5103.
