Ezra 4:1; Ezra 4:3

1 When the enemies of Judah and Benjamin heard that the exiles were building a temple for the LORD, the God of Israel,

3 But Zerubbabel, Joshua and the rest of the heads of the families of Israel answered, “You have no part with us in building a temple to our God. We alone will build it for the LORD, the God of Israel, as King Cyrus, the king of Persia, commanded us.”
