Nehemiah 6 (kjv)

Now it came to pass, when Sanballat^H5571, and Tobiah^H2900, and Geshem^H1654 the Arabian^H6163, and the rest^H3499 of our enemies^H341, heard^H8085 that I had builded^H1129 the wall^H2346, and that there was no breach^H6556 left^H3498 therein; (though^{H1571 H5704} at that time^H6256 I had not set up^H5975 the doors^H1817 upon the gates^H8179;)²That Sanballat^H5571 and Geshem^H1654 sent^H7971 unto me, saying^H559, Come^H3212, let us meet^H3259 together^H3162 in some one of the villages^H3715 in the plain^H1237 of Ono^H207. But they thought^H2803 to do^H6213 me mischief^H7451.³And I sent^H7971 messengers^H4397 unto them, saying^H559, I am doing^H6213 a great^H1419 work^H4399, so that I cannot^H3201 come down^H3381: why should the work^H4399 cease^H7673, whilst^H834 I leave^H7503 it, and come down^H3381 to you?⁴Yet they sent^H7971 unto me four^H702 times^H6471 after this sort^H1697; and I answered^H7725 them after the same manner^H1697.⁵Then sent^H7971 Sanballat^H5571 his servant^H5288 unto me in like manner^H1697 the fifth^H2549 time^H6471 with an open^H6605 letter^H107 in his hand^H3027;⁶Wherein was written^H3789, It is reported^H8085 among the heathen^H1471, and Gashmu^H1654 saith^H559 it, that thou and the Jews^H3064 think^H2803 to rebel^H4775: for which cause^H3651 thou buildest^H1129 the wall^H2346, that thou mayest be^H1933 their king^H4428, according to these words^H1697.⁷And thou hast also appointed^H5975 prophets^H5030 to preach^H7121 of thee at Jerusalem^H3389, saying^H559, There is a king^H4428 in Judah^H3063: and now shall it be reported^H8085 to the king^H4428 according to these words^H1697. Come^H3212 now therefore, and let us take counsel^H3289 together^H3162.⁸Then I sent^H7971 unto him, saying^H559, There are^H1961 no such things^H1697 done^H1961 as thou sayest^H559, but thou feignest^H908 them out of thine own heart^H3820.⁹For they all made us afraid^H3372, saying^H559, Their hands^H3027 shall be weakened^H7503 from the work^H4399, that it be not done^H6213. Now therefore, O God, strengthen^H2388 my hands^H3027.¹⁰Afterward I came^H935 unto the house^H1004 of Shemaiah^H8098 the son^H1121 of Delaiah^H1806 the son^H1121 of Mehetabeel^H4105, who was shut up^H6113; and he said^H559, Let us meet together^H3259 in the house^H1004 of God^H430, within^H8432 the temple^H1964, and let us shut^H5462 the doors^H1817 of the temple^H1964: for they will come^H935 to slay^H2026 thee; yea, in the night^H3915 will they come^H935 to slay^H2026 thee.¹¹And I said^H559, Should such^H3644 a man^H376 as I flee^H1272? and who is there, that, being as I am, would go^H935 into the temple^H1964 to save his life^H2425? I will not go in^H935.¹²And, lo, I perceived^H5234 that God^H430 had not sent^H7971 him; but that he pronounced^H1696 this prophecy^H5016 against me: for Tobiah^H2900 and Sanballat^H5571 had hired^H7936 him.¹³Therefore was he hired^H7936, that I should be afraid^H3372, and do so^H6213, and sin^H2398, and that they might have matter for an evil^H7451 report^H8034, that they might reproach^H2778 me.¹⁴My God^H430, think^H2142 thou upon Tobiah^H2900 and Sanballat^H5571 according to these their works^H4639, and on the prophetess^H5031 Noadiah^H5129, and the rest^H3499 of the prophets^H5030, that would have put me in fear^H3372.

¹⁵So the wall^H2346 was finished^H7999 in the twenty^H6242 and fifth^H2568 day of the month Elul^H435, in fifty^H2572 and two^H8147 days^H3117.¹⁶And it came to pass, that when all our enemies^H341 heard^H8085 thereof, and all the heathen^H1471 that were about us^H5439 saw^H7200 these things, they were much^H3966 cast down^H5307 in their own eyes^H5869: for they perceived^H3045 that this work^H4399 was wrought^H6213 of our God^H430.

¹⁷Moreover in those days^H3117 the nobles^H2715 of Judah^H3063 sent^H1980 many^H7235 letters^H107 unto Tobiah^H2900, and the letters of Tobiah^H2900 came^H935 unto them.¹⁸For there were many^H7227 in Judah^H3063 sworn^{H1167 H7621} unto him, because he was the son in law^H2860 of Shechaniah^H7935 the son^H1121 of Arah^H733; and his son^H1121 Johanan^H3076 had taken^H3947 the daughter^H1323 of Meshullam^H4918 the son^H1121 of Berechiah^H1296.¹⁹Also they reported^H559 his good deeds^H2896 before^H6440 me, and uttered^H3318 my words^H1697 to him. And Tobiah^H2900 sent^H7971 letters^H107 to put me in fear^H3372.
