Ezra 4:23

Now when the copy of king Artaxerxes’ letter was read before Rehum, and Shimshai the scribe, and their companions, they went up in haste to Jerusalem unto the Jews, and made them to cease by force and power.

KJV

Itaque exemplum edicti Artaxerxis regis lectum est coram Reum Beelteem, et Samsai scriba, et consiliariis eorum : et abierunt festini in Jerusalem ad Judæos, et prohibuerunt eos in brachio et robore.

Vulgate

τότε ὁ φορολόγος τοῦ Ἀρσαρθὰ βασιλέως ἀνέγνω ἐνώπιον Ῥαοὺμ καὶ Σαμεσὰ γραμματέως συνδούλων αὐτῶν· καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν ἐν σπουδῇ εἰς Ἰερουσαλὴμ καὶ ἐν Ἰούδᾳ, καὶ κατήργησαν αὐτοὺς ἐν ἵπποις καὶ δυνάμει.

LXX

Then when the copy of king Artaxerxes’ letter was read before Rehum, and Shimshai the scribe, and their companions, they went in haste to Jerusalem unto the Jews, and made them to cease by force and power.
