Ezra 4:17-19

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁷ The king sent word to Reum Beelteem and Samsai the scribe, and to the rest that were in their council, inhabitants of Samaria, and to the rest beyond the river, sending greeting and peace.

¹⁸ The accusation, which you have sent to us, hath been plainly read before me,

¹⁹ And I commanded: and search hath been made, and it is found, that this city of old time hath rebelled against kings, and seditions and wars have been raised therein.
