We give news to the king that the Jews who came from you have come to us at Jerusalem; they are building up again that uncontrolled and evil town; the walls are complete and they are joining up the bases.
Ezra 4:13

Now because we are responsible to the king, and it is not right for us to see the king's honour damaged, we have sent to give the king word of these things,
Ezra 4:15
So that search may be made in the book of the records of your fathers: and you will see in the book of the records that this town has been uncontrolled, and a cause of trouble to kings and countries, and that there were outbursts against authority there in the past: for which reason the town was made waste.

Give an order now, that these men are to do nothing more, and that the building of the town is to be stopped, till I give an order.
Ezra 4:22
Be certain to do this with all care: do not let trouble be increased to the king's damage.
