Ezra 4:10-13

[10] And the rest  of the nations  whom  the great  and noble  Asnappar  brought over,  and set  in the cities  of Samaria,  and the rest  that are on this side  the river,  and at such a time.  [11] This  is the copy  of the letter  that  they sent  unto him,  even unto Artaxerxes  the king;  Thy servants  the men  on this side  the river,  and at such a time.  [12] Be it  known  unto the king,  that the Jews  which  came up  from  thee  to us  are come  unto Jerusalem,  the rebellious  and the bad  city,  and have set up  the walls  thereof, and joined  the foundations.  [13] Be it known  now  unto the king,  that, if  this  city  be builded,  and the walls  set up  again, then will they not  pay  toll,  tribute,  and custom,  and so thou shalt endamage  the revenue  of the kings.
