Ezra 4:16

We now let the king know that if this city is rebuilt and its walls repaired, then you will have no possessions left in the country on the other side of the river."
[The expression "to eat the salt of the palace" is an idiomatic expression for being in the king's service. The English word for salary comes from the Latin salarium, meaning salt money.]
