Then they came to Zerubbabel and to the heads of families, and said to them, Let us take part in the building with you; for we are servants of your God, even as you are; and we have been making offerings to him from the days of Esar-haddon, king of Assyria, who put us here.

ηλθον προς τον Ζοροβαβελ και προς τους αρχηγους των πατριων και ειπον προς αυτους, Ας οικοδομησωμεν με σας· διοτι και ημεις εκζητουμεν τον Θεον σας, καθως σεις, και εις αυτον θυσιαζομεν απο των ημερων του Εσαραδδων βασιλεως της Ασσουρ, οστις ανεβιβασεν ημας εδω.

Then they came to Zerubbabel, and to the chief of the fathers, and said unto them, Let us build with you: for we seek your God, as ye do; and we do sacrifice unto him since the days of Esar–haddon king of Assur, which brought us up hither.
