Now it came to pass, when SanballatH5571, and TobiahH2900, and GeshemH1654 the ArabianH6163, and the restH3499 of our enemiesH341, heardH8085 that I had buildedH1129 the wallH2346, and that there was no breachH6556 leftH3498 therein; (thoughH1571+H5704 at that timeH6256 I had not set upH5975 the doorsH1817 upon the gatesH8179;)
That SanballatH5571 and GeshemH1654 sentH7971 unto me, sayingH559, ComeH3212, let us meetH3259 togetherH3162 in some one of the villagesH3715 in the plainH1237 of OnoH207. But they thoughtH2803 to doH6213 me mischiefH7451.
And I sentH7971 messengersH4397 unto them, sayingH559, I am doingH6213 a greatH1419 workH4399, so that I cannotH3201 come downH3381: why should the workH4399 ceaseH7673, whilstH834 I leaveH7503 it, and come downH3381 to you?
Yet they sentH7971 unto me fourH702 timesH6471 after this sortH1697; and I answeredH7725 them after the same mannerH1697.
Then sentH7971 SanballatH5571 his servantH5288 unto me in like mannerH1697 the fifthH2549 timeH6471 with an openH6605 letterH107 in his handH3027;
Wherein was writtenH3789, It is reportedH8085 among the heathenH1471, and GashmuH1654 saithH559 it, that thou and the JewsH3064 thinkH2803 to rebelH4775: for which causeH3651 thou buildestH1129 the wallH2346, that thou mayest beH1933 their kingH4428, according to these wordsH1697. {Gashmu: or, Geshem}
And thou hast also appointedH5975 prophetsH5030 to preachH7121 of thee at JerusalemH3389, sayingH559, There is a kingH4428 in JudahH3063: and now shall it be reportedH8085 to the kingH4428 according to these wordsH1697. ComeH3212 now therefore, and let us take counselH3289 togetherH3162.
Then I sentH7971 unto him, sayingH559, There areH1961 no such thingsH1697 doneH1961 as thou sayestH559, but thou feignestH908 them out of thine own heartH3820.
For they all made us afraidH3372, sayingH559, Their handsH3027 shall be weakenedH7503 from the workH4399, that it be not doneH6213. Now therefore, O God, strengthenH2388 my handsH3027.
Afterward I cameH935 unto the houseH1004 of ShemaiahH8098 the sonH1121 of DelaiahH1806 the sonH1121 of MehetabeelH4105, who was shut upH6113; and he saidH559, Let us meet togetherH3259 in the houseH1004 of GodH430, withinH8432 the templeH1964, and let us shutH5462 the doorsH1817 of the templeH1964: for they will comeH935 to slayH2026 thee; yea, in the nightH3915 will they comeH935 to slayH2026 thee.
And I saidH559, Should suchH3644 a manH376 as I fleeH1272? and who is there, that, being as I am, would goH935 into the templeH1964 to save his lifeH2425? I will not go inH935.
And, lo, I perceivedH5234 that GodH430 had not sentH7971 him; but that he pronouncedH1696 this prophecyH5016 against me: for TobiahH2900 and SanballatH5571 had hiredH7936 him.
Therefore was he hiredH7936, that I should be afraidH3372, and do soH6213, and sinH2398, and that they might have matter for an evilH7451 reportH8034, that they might reproachH2778 me.
My GodH430, thinkH2142 thou upon TobiahH2900 and SanballatH5571 according to these their worksH4639, and on the prophetessH5031 NoadiahH5129, and the restH3499 of the prophetsH5030, that would have put me in fearH3372.
So the wallH2346 was finishedH7999 in the twentyH6242 and fifthH2568 day of the month ElulH435, in fiftyH2572 and twoH8147 daysH3117.
And it came to pass, that when all our enemiesH341 heardH8085 thereof, and all the heathenH1471 that were about usH5439 sawH7200 these things, they were muchH3966 cast downH5307 in their own eyesH5869: for they perceivedH3045 that this workH4399 was wroughtH6213 of our GodH430.
Moreover in those daysH3117 the noblesH2715 of JudahH3063 sentH1980 manyH7235 lettersH107 unto TobiahH2900, and the letters of TobiahH2900 cameH935 unto them. {sent…: Heb. multiplied their letters passing to Tobiah}
For there were manyH7227 in JudahH3063 swornH1167+H7621 unto him, because he was the son in lawH2860 of ShechaniahH7935 the sonH1121 of ArahH733; and his sonH1121 JohananH3076 had takenH3947 the daughterH1323 of MeshullamH4918 the sonH1121 of BerechiahH1296.
Also they reportedH559 his good deedsH2896 beforeH6440 me, and utteredH3318 my wordsH1697 to him. And TobiahH2900 sentH7971 lettersH107 to put me in fearH3372. {words: or, matters}
