15:004:015 That search may be made in the book of the records of thy
           fathers:  so shalt thou find in the book of the records, and
           know that this city is a rebellious city, and hurtful unto
           kings and provinces, and that they have moved sedition within
           the same of old time:  for which cause was this city destroyed.

15:004:016 We certify the king that, if this city be builded again, and
           the walls thereof set up, by this means thou shalt have no
           portion on this side the river.

15:004:017 Then sent the king an answer unto Rehum the chancellor, and to
           Shimshai the scribe, and to the rest of their companions that
           dwell in Samaria, and unto the rest beyond the river, Peace,
           and at such a time.

15:004:018 The letter which ye sent unto us hath been plainly read before
           me.

15:004:019 And I commanded, and search hath been made, and it is found
           that this city of old time hath made insurrection against
           kings, and that rebellion and sedition have been made therein.

15:004:020 There have been mighty kings also over Jerusalem, which have
           ruled over all countries beyond the river; and toll, tribute,
           and custom, was paid unto them.

15:004:021 Give ye now commandment to cause these men to cease, and that
           this city be not builded, until another commandment shall be
           given from me.

15:004:022 Take heed now that ye fail not to do this:  why should damage
           grow to the hurt of the kings?

15:004:023 Now when the copy of king Artaxerxes’ letter was read before
           Rehum, and Shimshai the scribe, and their companions, they
           went up in haste to Jerusalem unto the Jews, and made them to
           cease by force and power.

15:004:024 Then ceased the work of the house of God which is at
           Jerusalem.  So it ceased unto the second year of the reign of
           Darius king of Persia.

15:005:001 Then the prophets, Haggai the prophet, and Zechariah the son
           of Iddo, prophesied unto the Jews that were in Judah and
           Jerusalem in the name of the God of Israel, even unto them.

15:005:002 Then rose up Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the
           son of Jozadak, and began to build the house of God which is
           at Jerusalem:  and with them were the prophets of God helping
           them.

15:005:003 At the same time came to them Tatnai, governor on this side
           the river, and Shetharboznai and their companions, and said
           thus unto them, Who hath commanded you to build this house,
           and to make up this wall?

15:005:004 Then said we unto them after this manner, What are the names
           of the men that make this building?
