Nehemiah 6:2-4
2then Sanballat and Geshem sent a message to me, saying, “Come, let us meet together at 1Chephirim in the plain of 2Ono.” But they were planning to 3harm 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?”
4They sent messages to me four times in this manner, and I answered them in the same way.
