Now it came to pass, when Sanballat,
and Tobiah
,
and Geshem
the Arabian
,
and the rest
of our enemies,
heard
that I had builded
the wall
,
and
that
there was no breach
left
therein; (though
at that time
I had not set up
the doors
upon
the gates
;)
2
That Sanballat
and Geshem
sent
unto me, saying,
Come
,
let us meet
together in
some one of
the villages
in the plain
of Ono
.
But they thought
to do me mischief.
3
And I sent
messengers
unto them, saying,
I
am
doing
a great
work
,
so that I cannot
come down
:
why should the
work
cease
, whilst
I leave
it, and
come down
to you?
4
Yet they sent
unto me four
times
after
this
sort
;
and I answered
them after
the same
manner
.
5
Then sent
Sanballat
his servant
unto me in like manner
the fifth
time
with an open
letter
in his hand
;
6
Wherein
was
written
,
It is reported
among the heathen
,
and Gashmu
saith
it, that
thou and the Jews
think
to rebel
: for
which
cause
thou buildest
the wall
, that thou mayest be
their king
,
according
to these
words
.
7
And thou hast also appointed
prophets
to preach
of thee at Jerusalem
, saying,
There is
a king
in Judah
:
and
now
shall it be reported
to the king
according
to these
words
. Come
now
therefore, and let us take counsel together.
8
Then I sent
unto him, saying, There are
no such things
done
as thou sayest
,
but thou feignest
them out of thine own heart
.
9
For they all made us afraid
,
saying
,
Their hands
shall be weakened
from the work
,
that it be not done
. Now therefore,
O God
, strengthen
my hands
.
10
Afterward I came
unto the house
of Shemaiah
the son
of Delaiah
the son
of Mehetabeel
,
who
was
shut up
;
and he said
,
Let us meet together
in the house
of God
,
within
the temple
,
and let us shut
the doors
of
the temple
:
for they will come
to slay
thee; yea, in the night
will they come
to slay
thee.
11
And I said
,
Should such
a man
as I flee
? and who
is there
, that,
being
as I
am
, would go
into the temple
to save his life
? I will not go in
.
12
And, lo, I perceived
that God
had not sent
him; but that he pronounced
this prophecy
against
me: for Tobiah
and Sanballat
had hired
him.
13
Therefore
was
he hired
,
that I should be afraid
,
and do so
,
and sin
,
and
that
they might
have
matter
for an evil
report
,
that they might reproach
me.
14
My God
,
think
thou upon Tobiah
and Sanballat
according
to these
their works
,
and on the prophetess
Noadiah
,
and the rest
of the prophets
,
that would have put me in fear
.
15
So the wall
was finished
in the twenty
and fifth
day
of
the month
Elul
,
in fifty
and two
days
.
16
And it came to pass, that when
all
our enemies
heard
thereof
,
and
all
the heathen
that
were
about us
saw
these things
, they were much
cast down
in their own eyes
:
for they perceived
that this work
was wrought
of our God
.
17
Moreover in
those
days
the nobles
of Judah
sent
many
letters
unto Tobiah
,
and
the
letters
of Tobiah
came
unto them.
18
For
there were
many
in Judah
sworn unto him,
because
he
was
the son
in law
of Shechaniah
the son
of Arah
;
and his son
Johanan
had taken
the daughter
of Meshullam
the son
of Berechiah
.
19
Also they reported
his good deeds
before
me, and uttered
my words
to him.
And
Tobiah
sent
letters
to put me in fear
.
