RF NEH 6:1 Sanballat threatens Nehemiah.
When, however, it was reported to Sanballat, and Tobiah, and Gheshem, the Arabian, and to the others of our enemies that I had rebuilt the wall, and no breach was left in it, except that at the time the doors were not fixed in the Gates,
RF NEH 6:2 Sanballat, and Gheshem with him, sent to me and said, "Come and let us see each other in a village on the plain of Anno." But they intended to do me an injury.
RF NEH 6:3 I consequently sent a messenger to them to reply;—"I am doing a great work, and cannot come down. Why should the work cease by my absence, and going to you?"
RF NEH 6:4 They, however, sent me a similar message four times, and I returned to them the same answer.
RF NEH 6:5 Then Sanballat sent his servant to me a fifth time, and an open letter in his hand in which was written;—
RF NEH 6:6 Sanballat's Letter.
"It is reported amongst the peoples,—and Gheshem says it,—that you and the Judeans are preparing to rebel;—consequently you are building the wall, and that you hope to be their king, according to these reports.
RF NEH 6:7 And that you have set Preachers to proclaim about you in Jerusalem; to call you King of Judea. But now the King has heard these reports. So now come, and we will consult together."
RF NEH 6:8 Nehemiah's Answer.
But I sent to him to say;" None of those things that you assert have been done, but you contrive them out of your own heart;
RF NEH 6:9 for all of them are to terrify us; but you have not succeeded; you only strengthen my hands."
RF NEH 6:10 I then went to the house of Shemaiah-ben-Daliah-ben-Mahitabel who was ill,—and he said "Let us meet at the House of GOD,—at the inner Temple,—and close the doors of the Temple, for they will come by night to murder you!"
RF NEH 6:11 But I replied, "Should a man like me fly? And, who in my position has gone to the Temple and lived?—I will not go!"
RF NEH 6:12 Nehemiah finds preachers have been Hired against Him.
Then I investigated and saw that GOD had not sent him, but he preached this message to me because Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him.
RF NEH 6:13 They hired him for the purpose that I might be terrified, and do so, and commit a blunder, which would provide an opportunity for them to accuse me, for they could have accused me upon that act.
RF NEH 6:14 My GOD, remember Tobiah and Sanballat on account of these actions, and also Nodiah the Preacheress, and the rest of the Preachers who tried to terrify me,
RF NEH 6:15 (445 B.C.) Completion of the Wall.
On the twenty-fifth day of Elul the Wall was completed—
RF NEH 6:16 And when all our enemies heard it, and all the heathen who were around us saw, they fell greatly in their own opinions, and perceived that the work was done by our GOD.
RF NEH 6:17 The Nobles Plot against Nehemiah.
However in those days many of the nobles of Judea sent letters to Tobiah, and in the same way letters from Tobiah came to them
RF NEH 6:18 For many of the gentry in Judea were sworn to him, for he was son-in-law to Shekaniah-ben-Arah, and Jhohanan his son had married the daughter of Mishulam-ben-Berekiah,
RF NEH 6:19 so his compliments were sent to me and my words were carried to him, and letters sent from Tobiah to terrify me.
