Ezra 4:14

Now because we have maintenance from the king's palace, and it was not meet for us to see the king's dishonour, therefore have we sent and certified the king;

Now because we eat the salt of the palace and it is not fitting for us to witness the king's dishonor, therefore we send and inform the king,

כְּל׳ מְלַ֣ח הֵיכְלָ֣א מְלַחְנָ֡א וְעַרְוַ֣ת מַלְכָּ֡א לָ֣א אֲרִ֡יךְ לָ֡נָא לְמֶחֱזֵ֡א עַל דְּנָ֡ה שְׁלַ֣חְנָא וְהוֹדַ֡עְנָא לְמַלְכָּֽא׃
