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
In the book of Ezra, chapter 4, the Jewish exiles had returned from Babylon and were facing opposition while attempting to rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem under Persian rule. The adversaries, likely Samaritans or other local groups loyal to the Persian king, wrote a letter to King Artaxerxes to demonstrate their allegiance and warn him of potential threats from the Jews. They referenced their dependence on the king's resources as a motive for reporting any actions that could dishonor him, aiming to protect their own interests.
