Now it came to pass, when it was reported to Sanballat and Tobiah, and to Geshem the Arabian, and to the rest of our enemies, that I had builded the wall, and that there was no breach left therein--though even to that time I had not set up the doors in the gates--

I sent messengers to 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?'

Then sent Sanballat his servant to me in like manner the fifth time with an open letter in his hand;

As for me, I went to the house of Shemaiah the son of Delaiah the son of Mehetabel, 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 you; yes, in the night will they come to slay you.'
