Nehemiah 6:1-3

1Now when it was reported to Sanballat, Tobiah, to Geshem the Arab and to the rest of our enemies that I had rebuilt the wall, and that no breach remained in it, 1although at that time I had not set up the doors in the gates,

2then Sanballat and Geshem sent a message to me, saying, “Come, let us meet together at 2Chephirim in the plain of 3Ono.” But they were planning to 4harm me.

3So I sent messengers to them, saying, “I am doing a great work and I cannot come down. Why should the work stop while I leave it and come down to you?”
