Chapter 6
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.
