And the rest of the nations whom the great and noble Asnappar brought over, and H1994 in the cities of Samaria, and the rest that H1994 on this side the river, and at such a time.

Now when the copy of king Artaxerxes' letter was read before Rehum, and Shimshai the scribe, and their companions, they went up in haste to Jerusalem unto the Jews, and made H1994 to cease by force and power.

But the eye of their God was upon the elders of the Jews, that they could not cause H1994 to cease, till the matter came to Darius: and then they returned answer by letter concerning this matter.

And thus they returned us answer, saying, We H1994 the servants of the God of heaven and earth, and build the house that was builded these many years ago, which a great king of Israel builded and H1994 up.

But after that our fathers had provoked the God of heaven unto wrath, he gave H1994 into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, the Chaldean, who destroyed this house, and carried the people away into Babylon.

And the vessels also of gold and silver of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took out of the temple that was in Jerusalem, and brought H1994 into the temple of Babylon, H1994 did Cyrus the king take out of the temple of Babylon, and they were delivered unto one, whose name was Sheshbazzar, whom he had made governor;

And said unto him, Take these vessels, go, carry H1994 into the temple that is in Jerusalem, and let the house of God be builded in his place.

Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake H1994 to pieces.

Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried H1994 away, that no place was found for H1994: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.
