Ezra 6:21-22

New King James Version

²¹ Then the children of Israel who had returned from the captivity ate together with all who had separated themselves from the ^(A)filth^[a] of the nations of the land in order to seek the Lord God of Israel. ²² And they kept the ^(B)Feast of Unleavened Bread seven days with joy; for the Lord made them joyful, and ^(C)turned the heart ^(D)of the king of Assyria toward them, to strengthen their hands in the work of the house of God, the God of Israel.
