Nehemiah 6:1-6

1Now it came to pass, when SanballatH5571, and TobiahH2900, and GeshemH1654 the ArabianH6163, and the restH3499 of our enemiesH341, heardH8085 that I had builtH1129 the wallH2346, and that there was no breachH6556 leftH3498 in it; (thoughH1571H5704 at that timeH6256 I had not set upH5975 the doorsH1817 upon the gatesH8179;)

2That SanballatH5571 and GeshemH1654 sentH7971 to 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 to them, sayingH559, I am doingH6213 a greatH1419 workH4399, so that I cannotH3201 come downH3381: why should the workH4399 ceaseH7673, whileH834 I leaveH7503 it, and come downH3381 to you?

4Yet they sentH7971 to me fourH702 timesH6471 in this wayH1697; and I answeredH7725 them after the same mannerH1697.

5Then SanballatH5571 sentH7971 his servantH5288 to me in like mannerH1697 the fifthH2549 timeH6471 with an openH6605 letterH107 in his handH3027;

6In which was writtenH3789, It is reportedH8085 among the heathenH1471, and GashmuH1654 saithH559 it, that thou and the JewsH3064 thinkH2803 to rebelH4775: for which causeH3651 thou buildestH1129 the wallH2346, that thou mayest beH1933 their kingH4428, according to these wordsH1697.1
