And the rest of the nations which the great and noble Osnappar took over and put in Samaria and the rest of the country over the river:

בְּקִרְיָ֖ה (קִרְיָ֖ה) kir.Yah “[the] city”

We give news to the king that the Jews who came from you have come to us at Jerusalem; they are building up again that uncontrolled and evil town; the walls are complete and they are joining up the bases.

קִרְיְתָ֨א (קִרְיְתָ֨) kir.ye.Ta “city”

The king may be certain that when the building of this town and its walls is complete, they will give no tax or payment in goods or forced payments, and in the end it will be a cause of loss to the kings.

קִרְיְתָ֥א (קִרְיְתָ֥) kir.ye.Ta “city”

So that search may be made in the book of the records of your fathers: and you will see in the book of the records that this town has been uncontrolled, and a cause of trouble to kings and countries, and that there were outbursts against authority there

We give you word, that if the building of this town and its walls is made complete, there will be an end of your power in the country across the river.

קִרְיְתָ֥א (קִרְיְתָ֥) kir.ye.Ta “city”

And I gave orders for a search to be made, and it is certain that in the past this town has made trouble for kings, and that outbursts against authority have taken place there.

קִרְיְתָ֣א (קִרְיְתָ֣) kir.ye.Ta “city”

Give an order now, that these men are to do nothing more, and that the building of the town is to be stopped, till I give an order.

וְקִרְיְתָ֥א (קִרְיְתָ֥) kir.ye.Ta “city”
