GOD’S WORD Translation
The Samaritans Stop the Work
4 When the enemies of Judah and Benjamin heard that the people who returned from exile were building a temple for the Lord God of Israel, 2 they approached Zerubbabel and the heads of the families. They told them, “We want to help you build because we worship the same God you worship. We have been sacrificing to him [a] since the time of King Esarhaddon of Assyria, who brought us here.”
