Ezra 4:22-24
Evangelical Heritage Version

22 Moreover, continue to be diligent. Do not neglect to do this. Why should damage increase to harm kings?

23 Then, when a copy of Artaxerxes’ document was read in the presence of Rehum, Shimshai the secretary, and their associates, they immediately went to the Judeans in Jerusalem, and they stopped them with armed force. 24 In this way, the work on the house of God in Jerusalem was stopped. Also, it had previously been stopped until the second year[a] of the reign of King Darius of Persia.[b]
