KJV - Ezra 5:8
Be it known unto the king, that we went into the province of Judea, to the house of the great God, which is builded with great stones, and timber is laid in the walls, and this work goeth fast on, and prospereth in their hands.
The king should know that we visited Judea, to a big God's house made of large stones and wood in the walls. The construction is going quickly and successfully for them.
