In Ezra 4:9, the Tarpelites are listed among other groups who wrote a letter to King Artaxerxes, expressing their opposition to the reconstruction efforts led by the Jewish exiles. The passage reads: "From Rehum the commander, Shimshai the scribe, and the rest of their associates—the judges and officials over Tripolis, Persia, Erech, Babylon, Susa (that is, the Elamites), and the rest of the peoples whom the great and honorable Ashurbanipal deported and settled in the city of Samaria and elsewhere in the region west of the Euphrates." (Ezra 4:9, BSB). The Tarpelites, along with other groups, were concerned about the potential threat posed by a restored Jerusalem and sought to halt its progress through political means.
