King James Version (KJV)

We certify the king that, if this city be builded again, and the walls thereof set up, by this means thou shalt have no portion on this side the river.

Modern English

We make known to the king that if this city is rebuilt and its walls finished, you will then have no possession in the province Beyond the River.
