I issued an order and a search was made, and it was found that this city has a long history of revolt against kings and has been a place of rebellion and sedition.

I gave an order. I had a search made. Here is what we found out. Jerusalem has a long history of turning against the kings of the countries that have ruled over it. It has refused to remain under their control. It is always stirring up trouble.

And I made a decree, and search has been made, and it has been found that this city from of old has risen against kings, and that rebellion and sedition have been made in it.

I ordered a search of the records and have found that Jerusalem has indeed been a hotbed of insurrection against many kings. In fact, rebellion and revolt are normal there!

I issued a decree and a search was conducted. It was discovered that this city has had uprisings against kings since ancient times, and there have been rebellions and revolts in it.

And a decree has been issued by me, and a search has been conducted and it has been discovered that that city has risen up against the kings in past days, and that rebellion and revolt have been perpetrated in it,

And I gave the command, and a search has been made, and it was found that this city in former times has revolted against kings, and rebellion and sedition have been fostered in it.

And I decreed, and search hath been made, and it is found that this city of old time hath made insurrection against kings, and that rebellion and sedition have been made therein.

I issued a decree and a search was conducted. It was discovered that this city has had uprisings against kings since ancient times, and there have been rebellions and revolts in it.

And I commanded, and search hath been made, and it is found that this city of old time hath made insurrection against kings, and[ that] rebellion and sedition have been made therein.

So I gave orders, and it was determined that this city from long ago has been engaging in insurrection against kings. It has continually engaged in rebellion and revolt.

I decreed, and search has been made, and it was found that this city has made insurrection against kings in the past, and that rebellion and revolts have been made in it.

耶和華與他同在，他無論往何處去盡都亨通。他背叛亞述王，不服事他。

又從以色列王室後裔中選取一人，與他立約，令他發誓，又擄走國中有勢力的人，使王國衰弱，不再強盛，只能靠守盟約方得生存。他卻背叛巴比倫王，差派使者前往埃及，要求埃及人給他馬匹和許多人。他豈能亨通呢？這樣做的人豈能逃脫呢？他背了約豈能逃脫呢？主耶和華說：我指着我的永生起誓，他定要死在巴比倫，就是巴比倫王所在之處；因為巴比倫王立他為王，他竟輕看向王所起的誓，背棄王與他所立的約。當敵人建土堆，築堡壘，要殲滅許多人時，法老雖有強大軍隊和大批人馬，在戰場上還是不能幫助他。他輕看誓言，背棄盟約，看哪，雖已投降，卻又做這一切的事，他必不能逃脫。所以主耶和華如此說：我指着我的永生起誓，他既輕看我的誓言，背棄我的約，我必使這罪歸到他頭上。

現在，王若以為好，請查閱巴比倫王的檔案庫，看居魯士王有沒有降旨允准在耶路撒冷建造神的殿。請降旨指示我們王對這件事的心意。」於是大流士王降旨，要尋察典籍庫，就是在巴比倫藏檔案之處；在瑪代省亞馬他城的宮內尋得一卷，其中這樣寫着，「記錄如下：

隱藏事情是神的榮耀；查明事情乃君王的榮耀。

因此，耶和華向耶路撒冷和猶大發怒，以致把他們從自己面前趕出去。西底家背叛巴比倫王。

請王考察先王史籍，必會在史籍上查知這城是反叛的城，對列王和各省有害；自古以來，城中常有悖逆的事，因此這城曾被拆毀。

你就要調查，探聽，細心詢問。看哪，是真的，確實有這可憎的事在你中間發生，
