1 Esdras 2:19

CEB
The king wrote back to the recorder Rehum, Beltethmus, the scribe Shimshai, and their associates living in Samaria, Syria, and Phoenicia, as follows:
NRSVA
Now if this city is built and the walls finished, they will not only refuse to pay tribute but will even resist kings.
NRSVUE
You will find in the annals what has been written about them and will learn that this city was rebellious, troubling both kings and other cities, and that the Jews were rebels and kept setting up blockades in it from of old. That is why this city was laid waste.
RSV
Now if this city is built and the walls finished, they will not only refuse to pay tribute but will even resist kings.
WYC
That if this city and walls were made up (again), [or were full ended], they shall not suffer to yield tributes, but also they shall against-stand to kings.
