In context
10So all his people and his armies obey him: furthermore he lieth down, he eateth and drinketh, and taketh his rest:
11and these keep watch round about him, neither may anyone depart, and do his own business, neither disobey they him in anything.
— 1 Esdras 4:12 —
13Then the third, who had spoken of women, and of the truth (this was Zerubbabel) began to speak.
14O ye 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 over them? are they not women?
