Commentary on Ezra 4:1
The opposition begins: 'Now when the adversaries of Judah and Benjamin heard that the children of the captivity builded the temple unto the LORD God of Israel.' The identification 'adversaries' (Hebrew tsar, enemies/opponents) reveals hostile intent from the beginning. The phrase 'children of the captivity' became technical term for returned exiles. That enemies 'heard' about temple building shows God's work attracts attention—both positive and negative. Spiritual advance inevitably provokes opposition.
