Ezra 4:1-2

1When the enemies of Judah and Benjamin heard that the returned exiles were building a temple for Adonai the God of Israel,

2they approached Zerubbabel and the leading patriarchs and said to them, “Let us build with you, for like you we seek your God and have been sacrificing to Him since the days of Esarhaddon, king of Assyria, who brought us here.”
