Nehemiah 6:1-4

1Now it came to pass, when SanballatH5571, and TobiahH2900, and GeshemH1654 the ArabianH6163, and the restH3499 of our enemiesH341, heardH8085 that I had buildedH1129 the wallH2346, and that there was no breachH6556 leftH3498 therein; (thoughH5704H1571 at that timeH6256 I had not set upH5975 the doorsH1817 upon the gatesH8179;)

2That SanballatH5571 and GeshemH1654 sentH7971 unto me, sayingH559, ComeH3212, let us meetH3259 togetherH3162 in some one of the villagesH3715 in the plainH1237 of OnoH207. But they thoughtH2803 to doH6213 me mischiefH7451.

3And I sentH7971 messengersH4397 unto them, sayingH559, I am doingH6213 a greatH1419 workH4399, so that I cannotH3201 come downH3381: why should the workH4399 ceaseH7673, whilstH834 I leaveH7503 it, and come downH3381 to you?

4Yet they sentH7971 unto me fourH702 timesH6471 after this sortH1697; and I answeredH7725 them after the same mannerH1697.
