Ezra 4:13

Be it known now unto the king, that, if this city be builded, and the walls set up again, then will they not pay toll, tribute, and custom, and so thou shalt endamage the revenue of the kings.

Toll, tribute, and custom - the first х mindaah (H4061) or midaah (H4061) (Ezra 4:20), Chaldee, tribute as if measured to each person] was a poll-tax; the second х bªlow (H1093), Chaldee], an impost on articles of trade and merchandise: excise; the third х hªlaak (H1983), Chaldee], a road tax, a toll. Their letter, and the edict that followed, commanding an immediate cessation of the work at the city walls, form the exclusive subject of narrative from Ezra 4:7 to Ezra 4:23. And now from this digression he returns, at Ezra 4:24, to resume the thread of his narrative concerning the building of the temple.
