Ezra 4:1-3 (NRSV)
“When the adversaries of Judah and Benjamin heard that the returned
exiles were building a temple to the Lord, the God of Israel, 2 they
approached Zerubbabel and the heads of families and said to them, “Let
us build with you, for we worship your God as you do, and we have been
sacrificing to him ever since the days of King Esar-haddon of Assyria
who brought us here.” 3 But Zerubbabel, Jeshua, and the rest of the
heads of families in Israel said to them, “You shall have no part with
us in building a house to our God; but we alone will build to the
Lord, the God of Israel, as King Cyrus of Persia has commanded us.”
Why did Zerubbabel refuse an offer for help?
