9Then askedH7593 weH116 thoseH479 eldersH7868, and saidH560 unto them thusH1836, Who gaveH560 you a decreeH2942 to build this houseH1005, and to finishH3635 this wall?

10WeH1768 askedH7593 them their namesH8036 also, to certify thee, that weH1768 might writeH3790 the namesH8036 of the menH1400 that were at the headH7217 of them.
