Rehum the commanding officer and Shimshai the secretary, together with the rest of their associates—the judges, officials and administrators over the people from Persia, Uruk and Babylon, the Elamites of Susa,
Then wrote Rehum the chancellor, and Shimshai the scribe, and the rest of their companions; the Dinaites, the Apharsathchites, the Tarpelites, the Apharsites, the Archevites, the Babylonians, the Susanchites, the Dehavites, and the Elamites,
Rehum the commander, Shimshai the scribe, and the rest of their associates, the judges, the governors, the officials, the Persians, the men of Erech, the Babylonians, the men of Susa, that is, the Elamites,
They greeted the king for all their colleagues—the judges and local leaders, the people of Tarpel, the Persians, the Babylonians, and the people of Erech and Susa (that is, Elam).
Then wrote Rehum the chancellor, and Shimshai the scribe,
and the rest of their companions
who all signed the letter; namely, the governors of the following
nations;
the Dinaites, the Apharsathchites, the Tarpelites, the
Apharsites, the Archevites, the Babylonians, the Susanchites, the
Dehavites, and the Elamites;
which were colonies from several parts of Chaldea, Media, and
Persia, and were settled in the several cities of Samaria, as
several of their names plainly show, as from Persia, Erech,
Babylon, Shushan, and Elimais; some account for them all, but
with uncertainty; according to R. Jose F11 these
were the Samaritans who first were sent out of five nations, to
whom the king of Assyria added four more, which together make the
nine here mentioned, see ( 2 Kings
17:24 ) .
