3But ZerubbabelH2216, and JeshuaH3442, and the restH7605 of the chiefH7218 of the fathersH1 of IsraelH3478, saidH559 unto them, Ye have nothing to do with us to buildH1129 an houseH1004 unto our GodH430; but we ourselves togetherH3162 will buildH1129 unto YhwhH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, as kingH4428 CyrusH3566 the kingH4428 of PersiaH6539 hath commandedH6680 us.
4Then the peopleH5971 of the landH776 weakenedH7503 the handsH3027 of the peopleH5971 of JudahH3063, and troubledH1089H926 them in buildingH1129,
5And hiredH7936 counsellorsH3289 against them, to frustrateH6565 their purposeH6098, all the daysH3117 of CyrusH3566 kingH4428 of PersiaH6539, even until the reignH4438 of DariusH1867 kingH4428 of PersiaH6539.
6And in the reignH4438 of AhasuerusH325, in the beginningH8462 of his reignH4438, wroteH3789 they unto him an accusationH7855 against the inhabitantsH3427 of JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389.1
