Nous faisons savoir au roi que cette ville est rebâtie et que ses murailles s'achèvent, à cause de cela, tu n'auras plus de possession de ce côté du fleuve.
Louis Segond (1910)
Nous faisons savoir au roi que, si cette ville est rebâtie et si ses murs sont relevés, par cela même tu n'auras plus de possession de ce côté du fleuve.
La Bible David Martin (1744)
Nous faisons [donc] savoir au Roi, que si cette ville est rebâtie, et ses murailles fondées, il n'aura plus de part à ce qui est au deçà du fleuve.

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

thou shalt have: Ezra 4:20, 2 Samuel 8:3, 1 Kings 4:24

Reciprocal: Ezra 6:8 - the king's Ezra 7:21 - beyond the river Nehemiah 2:19 - will ye rebel

Gill's Notes on the Bible

We certify the king, that if this city be builded again, and the walls thereof set up,.... As it formerly was, and now attempted, as they suggest:

by this means thou shalt have no portion on this side the river; the river Euphrates; intimating that the Jews would not only shake off his yoke, and refuse to pay tribute themselves, but would seize on all his dominions on that side the river, and annex them to their own.
