And the rest of the nations whom the great and noble Asnappar brought over, and set in the cities of Samaria, and the rest that are on this H5675 the river, and at such a time.

This is the copy of the letter that they sent unto him, even unto Artaxerxes the king; Thy servants the men on this H5675 the river, and at such a time.

We certify the king that, if this city be builded again, and the walls thereof set up, by this means thou shalt have no portion on this H5675 the river.

Then sent the king an answer unto Rehum the chancellor, and to Shimshai the scribe, and to the rest of their companions that dwell in Samaria, and unto the rest H5675 the river, Peace, and at such a time.

There have been mighty kings also over Jerusalem, which have ruled over all countries H5675 the river; and toll, tribute, and custom, was paid unto them.

At the same time came to them Tatnai, governor on this H5675 the river, and Shetharboznai, and their companions, and said thus unto them, Who hath commanded you to build this house, and to make up this wall?

The copy of the letter that Tatnai, governor on this H5675 the river, and Shetharboznai, and his companions the Apharsachites, which were on this H5675 the river, sent unto Darius the king:

Now therefore, Tatnai, governor H5675 the river, Shetharboznai, and your companions the Apharsachites, which are H5675 the river, be ye far from thence:

Moreover I make a decree what ye shall do to the elders of these Jews for the building of this house of God: that of the king's goods, even of the tribute H5675 the river, forthwith expences be given unto these men, that they be not hindered.

Then Tatnai, governor on this H5675 the river, Shetharboznai, and their companions, according to that which Darius the king had sent, so they did speedily.
