Ezra 4:20-22
New International Version
20 Jerusalem has had powerful kings ruling over the whole of Trans-Euphrates,(A) and taxes, tribute and duty were paid to them. 21 Now issue an order to these men to stop work, so that this city will not be rebuilt until I so order. 22 Be careful not to neglect this matter. Why let this threat grow, to the detriment of the royal interests?(B)

Ezra 4:20-22
New King James Version
20 There have also been mighty kings over Jerusalem, who have (A)ruled over all the region (B)beyond the River; and tax, tribute, and custom were paid to them. 21 Now [a]give the command to make these men cease, that this city may not be built until the command is given by me.
22 Take heed now that you do not fail to do this. Why should damage increase to the hurt of the kings?

20 I Jerusalem har också funnits mäktiga kungar, som härskat över allt land som ligger på andra sidan floden. Skatt, tull och vägpengar har givits till dem. 21 Utfärda därför en befallning att man hindrar dessa män att bygga upp denna stad, till dess jag befaller det. 22 Se till att ni inte är försumliga i denna sak, så att skadan inte växer, till men för konungarna."
