Ezra 5:10-12

Jubilee Bible 2000

¹⁰ We asked their names also, to notify thee, that we might write the names of the men that were at the head of them.

¹¹ And thus they returned us answer, saying, We are servants of the God of heaven and earth and rebuild the house that was built many years ago, which the great king of Israel built and founded.

¹² But after our fathers raged against the God of heaven, he gave them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, the Chaldean, who destroyed this house and carried the people away into Babylon.
