Ezra 5:2-4

New King James Version

² So ^(A)Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel and Jeshua the son of ^[a]Jozadak rose up and began to build the house of God which is in Jerusalem; and ^(B)the prophets of God were with them, helping them.

³ At the same time ^(C)Tattenai the governor of the region beyond ^[b]the River and Shethar-Boznai and their companions came to them and spoke thus to them: ^(D)“Who has commanded you to build this ^[c]temple and finish this wall?” ^4 (E)Then, accordingly, we told them the names of the men who were constructing this building.
