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.
Later another search would be done, and they would find Cyrus’ decree to allow the Jews to rebuild the Temple and reestablish their home in Jerusalem.
That’s the thing about searches; one can find whatever he wishes to find if he wishes to find it. Historians do it all the time. The shame today is; while historians are every bit as prone to only seeing the information they want to find and ignore everything else, nowadays, they pretend to be more honest about it. It’s like they think past historical records were so biased one way that it behooves them to write a history that discounts what was written. If historians were too positive about George Washington, for instance, modern historians see themselves as justified to find all the “dirt” on him they can and just report that. Thus, in the name of historical accuracy, they skew history away from the slant once reported.
Media reporters do it continuously. No longer do they try to report the news. Today they want to write a story. They wish to control the conversation by documenting events in such a way that only their side gets represented.
Let a search be made. While you’re at it, find all the facts. Discover what you did not know and not just wanted you hoped you would find.
