Ezra 4:6New International VersionAt the beginning of the reign of Xerxes, they lodged an accusation against the people of Judah and Jerusalem. See the chapter |
Then Haman said to King Xerxes, “There is a certain people dispersed among the peoples in all the provinces of your kingdom who keep themselves separate. Their customs are different from those of all other people, and they do not obey the king’s laws; it is not in the king’s best interest to tolerate them.
