4 Then [the Samaritans and others of] the people of the land discouraged the people of Judah, and frightened them [to deter them] from building,

5 and hired advisers [to work] against them to frustrate their plans during the entire time that Cyrus king of Persia reigned, [and this lasted] even until the reign of Darius king of Persia.
