Initially, local adversaries pose opposition by offering assistance, which is rejected by the leaders of Israel to follow the decree of King Cyrus of Persia. Subsequently, the locals attempt to discourage the rebuilders by writing letters to Persian kings, including Xerxes and Artaxerxes, labeling Jerusalem as a rebellious city.
