Ezra 5:8-10

International Children’s Bible

⁸ King Darius, you should know that we went to the district of Judah. That is where the Temple of the great God is. The people there are building that Temple with large stones. They are putting timbers in the walls. The people are working very hard. And they are building very fast.

⁹ We asked their elders, “Who gave you permission to rebuild this Temple and these walls?” ¹⁰ We also asked for their names. We wrote down the names of their leaders so you would know who they are.
