Ezra 4:18-20
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
18 The accusation, which you have sent to us, hath been plainly read before me,
19 And I commanded: and search hath been made, and it is found, that this city of old time hath rebelled against kings, and seditions and wars have been raised therein.
20 For there have been powerful kings in Jerusalem, who hare had dominion over all the country that is beyond the river: and have received tribute, and toll and revenues.
