Ezra 4:15
King James Version (1769 Blayney revision, with Apocrypha) · Berean Standard Bible
That search may be made in the book of the records of thy fathers: so shalt thou find in the book of the records, and know that this city is a rebellious city, and hurtful unto kings and provinces, and that they have moved (note: Cald. made) sedition within the same of old time (note: Chald. in the midst thereof): for which cause was this city destroyed.
that a search should be made of the record books of your fathers. In these books you will discover and verify that the city is a rebellious city, harmful to kings and provinces, inciting sedition from ancient times. That is why this city was destroyed.
