BRAGADAYJAH 1155

BRAGADAYJAH 1155
Letter sent to Darius the King.

So Zerubbabel and the prophets decided to carry on the work regardless; but the opposition was quick to take up the attack. So then Tatmai the governor and others came to them and asked them who commanded them to build the house and to make up the walls. And they were asked by the governor and his party what were the names of those that work on the wall; and they did not answer them for the Lord was with them in continuing to build. So the Governor and his party waited until Darius was ruling and then they wrote to him, saying, “Darius King of all peace, Be it know unto the king that we went into the province of Judah, to the house of the great God, which is built with great stones, and timber is laid in the walls and this work goes fast on, and is making good progress. Then asked we of these elders, who commanded you to build this house and to build up these walls? And we asked them also their names so that we could certify to thee the names of the chief of them.”
