There have been mighty kings also over Jerusalem, which have ruled over all countries beyond the river; and toll, tribute, and custom, was paid unto them.
También ha habido reyes poderosos que gobernaron sobre Jerusalén, que controlaron todas las tierras al oeste del río Éufrates, y se les pagaban impuestos, tributos y aranceles.

📚 Contexto Histórico
This verse comes from a letter written by enemies of the Jews to King Artaxerxes of Persia, trying to stop the rebuilding of Jerusalem's walls. They were referencing the great kings of Israel and Judah, particularly David and Solomon, who had indeed ruled over extensive territories and received tribute from surrounding nations. The opponents were using this historical fact to argue that a rebuilt Jerusalem would become rebellious against Persian rule.
