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;
15: That search may be made in the book of the records of thy fathers: so shalt thou find in the book of the records, and know that this city
is a rebellious city, and hurtful unto kings and provinces, and that they have moved sedition within the same of old time: for which cause was this city destroyed.

APHARSACHITES – Asnapper (Ezra, iv. 9). Their identity has not been fully established. It appears probable that the term has been misunderstood and designates in reality certain officials. apharsites"

DEHAVITES – ...The Dehavites are mentioned among the peoples settled in Samaria who opposed the reconstruction of the Temple at Jerusalem (Ezra iv. 9).

Babylon ( Akkadian: Bābili or Babilim; Aramaic: בבל, Babel, Hebrew: בָּבֶל, Bavel, Arabic: بابل, Bābil) was a major city of ancient Mesopotamia in the fertile plain between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. The city was built upon the Euphrates and divided in equal parts along its left and right banks, with steep embankments to contain the river's seasonal floods. Babylon was originally a small Semitic Akkadian city dating from the period of the Akkadian Empire c. 2300 BC. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babylon

JESHUA THE SON OF JOZADAK
Joshua (Hebrew יְהוֹשֻׁוּעַ) or Yeshua (Hebrew יֵשׁוּעַ) the High Priest was, according to the Bible, the first person chosen to be the High Priest for the reconstruction of the Jewish Temple after the return of the Jews from the Babylonian Captivity (See Zechariah 6:9-14 and Ezra 3 in the Bible). While the name Yeshua is used in Ezra–Nehemiah for the High Priest, he is called Joshua son of Yehozadak in the books of Haggai and Zechariah.

ZERUBBABEL SON OF SHEALTIEL
Zerubbabel (Hebrew: זְרֻבָּבֶל, Modern Zrubavel, Tiberian Zərubbāḇél; Ancient Greek: Ζοροβαβέλ, Zorobabel; Latin: Zorobabel) was a governor of the Persian Province of Yehud Medinata (Haggai 1:1) and the grandson of Jehoiachin, penultimate king of Judah.
