But the neighboring peoples harassed the Judeans and hindered their rebuilding.
For we obey your Lord just as you do and we have been sacrificing to him ever since the days of King Esar-haddon of the Assyrians, who brought us here.’
But the nations of the land besieged those in Judea, cut off their supplies, and hindered their building,
For we obey your Lord just as you do and we have been sacrificing to him ever since the days of Esarhad′don king of the Assyrians, who brought us here.”
In like manner forsooth we have heard our Lord, and we have gone together from the days of Asbasareth (or Esarhaddon), king of Assyrians, that over-passed from hence, [or that went over hence], (or that brought us here).
