Ezra 4:13 in Context — Ezra 4
11 C’est ici la copie de la lettre qu’ils envoyèrent au roi Artaxerxès: Tes serviteurs, les gens de ce côté du fleuve, etc.
12 Que le roi sache que les Juifs partis de chez toi et arrivés parmi nous à Jérusalem rebâtissent la ville rebelle et méchante, en relèvent les murs et en restaurent les fondements.
13 Que le roi sache donc que, si cette ville est rebâtie et si ses murs sont relevés, ils ne paieront ni tribut, ni impôt, ni droit de passage, et que le trésor royal en souffrira.
14 Or, comme nous mangeons le sel du palais et qu’il ne nous paraît pas convenable de voir mépriser le roi, nous envoyons au roi ces informations.
15 Qu’on fasse des recherches dans le livre des mémoires de tes pères; et tu trouveras et verras dans le livre des mémoires que cette ville est une ville rebelle, funeste aux rois et aux provinces, et qu’on s’y est livré à la révolte dès les temps anciens. C’est pourquoi cette ville a été détruite.
