In context

18The letter you sent us has been translated and read in my presence.

19I issued a decree, and a search was conducted. It was discovered that this city has revolted against kings from ancient times, engaging in rebellion and sedition.

20And mighty kings have ruled over Jerusalem and exercised authority over the whole region west of the Euphrates; and tribute, duty, and toll were paid to them.

21Now, therefore, issue an order for these men to stop, so that this city will not be rebuilt until I so order.

22See that you do not neglect this matter. Why allow this threat to increase and the royal interests to suffer?
