Ezra 4:11 - Barnes' Notes

Ezra 4:11

9 From Rehum the commander, Shimshai the scribe, and the rest of their companions—representatives of ^athe Dinaites, the Apharsathchites, the Tarpelites, the people of Persia and Erech and Babylon and Shushan, the Dehavites, the Elamites,

10 ^aand the rest of the nations whom the great and noble Osnapper took captive and settled in the cities of Samaria and the remainder beyond¹ the River —^band so forth.

11 (This is a copy of the letter that they sent him)
To King Artaxerxes from your servants, the men of the region beyond the River,¹ and so forth:

12 Let it be known to the king that the Jews who came up from you have come to us at Jerusalem, and are building the ^arebellious and evil city, and are finishing its ^bwalls and repairing the foundations.

13 Let it now be known to the king that, if this city is built and the walls completed, they will not pay ^atax, tribute, or custom, and the king’s treasury will be diminished.
