Ezra 4:16-18

Jubilee Bible 2000

¹⁶ We notify the king that if this city is built again, and its walls founded, the portion on the other side of the river shall no longer be yours.

¹⁷ ¶ The king sent this answer unto Rehum, the chancellor, and to Shimshai, the scribe, and to the rest of their companions that dwell in Samaria and to the rest of those of the other side of the river and to Cheenet.

¹⁸ The letter which you sent unto us has been plainly read before me.
