Rehum the chancellor and SH5922shai the scribe wrote a letter H5922 Jerusalem to Artaxerxes the kH5922g H5922 this sort:

This is the copy of the letter that they sent H5922 H5922, even H5922 Artaxerxes the kH5922g; Thy servants the H5922n on this side the river, and at such a tiH5922.

Be it known H5922 the kH5922g, that the Jews which caH5922 up from thee to us are coH5922 H5922 Jerusalem, buildH5922g the rebellious and the bad city, and have set up the walls thereof, and joH5922ed the foundations.

Now because we have maH5922tenance from the kH5922g's palace, and it was not H5922et H5922 us to see the kH5922g's dishonour, thereH5922e have we sent and certified the kH5922g;

That search may be made H5922 the book of the records of thy fathers: so shalt thou fH5922d H5922 the book of the records, and know that this city is a rebellious city, and hurtful H5922 kH5922gs and provH5922ces, and that they have moved sedition withH5922 the saH5922 of old tiH5922: H5922 which cause was this city destroyed.

Then sent the kH5922g an answer H5922 Rehum the chancellor, and to SH5922shai the scribe, and to the rest of their companions that dwell H5922 Samaria, and H5922 the rest beyond the river, Peace, and at such a tiH5922.

The letter which ye sent H5922 us hath been plaH5922ly read beH5922e H5922.

And I commanded, and search hath been made, and it is found that this city of old tiH5922 hath made H5922surrection H5922 kH5922gs, and that rebellion and sedition have been made thereH5922.

There have been mighty kH5922gs also H5922 Jerusalem, which have ruled H5922 all countries beyond the river; and toll, tribute, and custom, was paid H5922 them.

Take heed now that ye fail not to do this: why should damage grow to the hurt of the kH5922gs?
