Ezra 5

There's a difference between being an enemy of God and just doing your job.

In previous chapters Sanballat and his cronies proved themselves enemies of God.

By contrast, Tattenai the governor asked for information, and when he didn't get what he wanted he wrote the emperor. That was just doing his job.
