Now because we have maintenance from the king’s palace, and it was not meet for us to see the king’s dishonour, therefore have we sent and certified the king;
Ahora, porque recibimos nuestro sustento del palacio del rey, y no sería correcto que viéramos al rey deshonrado, hemos enviado este mensaje para informar al rey;
Los oficiales escriben al rey por lealtad, ya que reciben su sustento de él y no quieren verlo deshonrado.
📚 Contexto Histórico
This letter was written by local officials in the Persian province that included Jerusalem, addressed to King Artaxerxes around 458 BC. These officials were opposing the Jewish people's efforts to rebuild Jerusalem and the temple after their return from Babylonian exile. They were essentially government employees who received their wages and position from the Persian king, so they claimed loyalty to him while trying to stop the Jewish reconstruction project.
