Chapter 5

KJV - Ezra 5:17

Now therefore, if it seem good to the king, let there be search made in the king’s treasure house, which is there at Babylon, whether it be so, that a decree was made of Cyrus the king to build this house of God at Jerusalem, and let the king send his pleasure to us concerning this matter.

So, if the king agrees, please check in his treasury in Babylon if there's any record of King Cyrus deciding to build a God's house in Jerusalem. Then, kindly inform the king about what he wants regarding this issue.
