1 Esdras 4:7 Context
5They slay and are slaine, and transgresse not the Kings commandement: if they get the victory, they bring all to the King, as well the spoile as all things else. 6Likewise for those that are no souldiers, and haue not to doe with warres, but vse husbandrie; when they haue reaped againe, that which they had sowen, they bring it to the King, and compell one another to pay tribute vnto the King. 7And yet he is but one man; if hee commaund to kill, they kill, if he command to spare, they spare. 8If he command to smite, they smite; if he command to make desolate, they make desolate; if hee command to build, they build: 9If he command to cut downe, they cut downe; if he command to plant, they plant.
