Ezra 5:3-5

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

³ Then Tattenai, governor on the west side of the [Euphrates] River, and Shethar-bozenai and their companions came to them and said, Who ^[a]authorized you to build this house and to restore this wall?

⁴ Then we told them [in reply] the names of the men who were building this building.

⁵ But the eye of their God was upon the elders of the Jews, so the enemy could not make them stop until the matter came before Darius [I] and an answer was returned by letter concerning it.
