    1 Now it happened, when it was reported to Sanballat and Tobiah, and to Geshem the Arabian, and to the rest of our enemies, that I had built the wall, and that there was no breach left therein; (though even to that time I had not set up the doors in the gates;)

    2 that Sanballat and Geshem sent to me, saying, "Come, let us meet together in [one of] the villages in the plain of Ono." But they intended to harm me.

    3 I sent messengers to them, saying, "I am doing a great work, so that I can't come down. Why should the work cease, while I leave it, and come down to you?"

    4 They sent to me four times after this sort; and I answered them the same way.

    5 Then Sanballat sent his servant to me the same way the fifth time with an open letter in his hand,

    6 in which was written, "It is reported among the nations, and Gashmu says it, that you and the Jews intend to rebel. Because of that, you are building the wall. You would be their king, according to these words.

    7 You have also appointed prophets to preach of you at Jerusalem, saying, 'There is a king in Judah!' Now it will be reported to the king according to these words. Come now therefore, and let us take counsel together."

    8 Then I sent to him, saying, "There are no such things done as you say, but you imagine them out of your own heart."

    11 I said, "Should such a man as I flee? Who is there that, being such as I, would go into the temple to save his life? I will not go in."

    12 I discerned, and behold, God had not sent him; but he pronounced this prophecy against me. Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him.

    13 He hired so that I would be afraid, do so, and sin, and that they might have material for an evil report, that they might reproach me.

    14 "Remember, my God, Tobiah and Sanballat according to these their works, and also the prophetess Noadiah, and the rest of the prophets, that would have put me in fear."
