Be it known now unto the king, that, if this city be builded, and the walls set up again, then will they not pay toll, tribute, and custom, and so thou shalt endamage the revenue of the kings.

Verse 13 is found in chapter 4 of Ezra. The accusers appeal directly to the king’s economic interests, claiming that if Jerusalem is rebuilt, revenues and imperial authority will decline. The strategy is political and financial rather than theological. The passage shows how opposition can use administrative arguments to obstruct a religious undertaking.
