3 So I sent messengers to them, saying, “I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down. Why should the work cease while I leave it and go down to you?”
4 But they sent me this message four times, and I answered them in the same manner.
5 Then Sanballat sent his servant to me as before, the fifth time, with an open letter in his hand.
6 In it was written:
It is reported among the nations, and1 Geshem says, that you and the Jews plan to rebel; therefore, according to these rumors, you are rebuilding the wall, athat you may be their king.
It is reported among the nations, and1 Geshem says, that you and the Jews plan to rebel; therefore, according to these rumors, you are rebuilding the wall, athat you may be their king.
7 And you have also appointed prophets to proclaim concerning you at Jerusalem, saying, “There is a king in Judah!” Now these matters will be reported to the king. So come, therefore, and let us consult together.
