1 Esdras 4:12 Context
10So all his people and his armies obey him; furthermore he lieth downe, he eateth and drinketh, & taketh his rest. 11And these keepe (watch) round about him, neither may any one depart, and doe his owne businesse, neither disobey they him in any thing. 12O yee men, how should not the King be mightiest, when in such sort he is obeyed? and he held his tongue. 13¶ Then the third, who had spoken of women, and of the truth (this was Zorobabel) beganne to speake. 14O yee men, it is not the great King, nor the multitude of men, neither is it wine that excelleth; who is it then that ruleth them, or hath the lordship ouer them, are they not women?
