Attempts to Discourage the Builders

# Chapter 6
|
||||
1. When Sanballat, Tobiah, Geshem the Arab, and the rest of our enemies heard that I had rebuilt the wall and that no gap was left in it--though at that time I had not installed the doors in the city gates--
|
||||
2. Sanballat and Geshem sent me a message: "Come, let's meet together in the villages of the Ono Valley." They were planning to harm me.
|
||||
|
||||
3. So I sent messengers to them, saying, "I am doing important work and cannot come down. Why should the work cease while I leave it and go down to you?"
|
||||
4. Four times they sent me the same proposal, and I gave them the same reply.
|
||||
|
||||
5. Sanballat sent me this same message a fifth time by his aide, who had an open letter in his hand.
|
||||
6. In it was written:
|
||||
It is reported among the nations--and Geshem agrees--that you and the Jews plan to rebel. This is the reason you are building the wall. According to these reports, you are to become their king
|
||||
7. and have even set up the prophets in Jerusalem to proclaim on your behalf, "There is a king in Judah." These rumors will be heard by the king. So come, let's confer together.
|
||||
|
||||
8. Then I replied to him, "There is nothing to these rumors you are spreading; you are inventing them in your own mind."
|
||||
9. For they were all trying to intimidate us, saying, "They will drop their hands from the work, and it will never be finished."
|
||||
But now, my God, strengthen my hands.
|
||||
|
||||
Attempts to Intimidate Nehemiah
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
10. I went to the house of Shemaiah son of Delaiah, son of Mehetabel, who was restricted to his house. He said:
|
||||
Let's meet at the house of God,
|
||||
inside the temple.
|
||||
|
||||
Let's shut the temple doors
|
||||
because they're coming to kill you.
|
||||
They're coming to kill you tonight!
|
||||
|
||||
11. But I said, "Should a man like me run away? How can someone like me enter the temple and live? I will not go."
|
||||
12. I realized that God had not sent him, because of the prophecy he spoke against me. Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him.
|
||||
13. He was hired, so that I would be intimidated, do as he suggested, sin, and get a bad reputation, in order that they could discredit me.
|
||||
|
||||
14. My God, remember Tobiah and Sanballat for what they have done, and also the prophetess Noadiah and the other prophets who wanted to intimidate me.
|
||||
|
||||
The Wall Completed
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
15. The wall was completed in fifty-two days, on the twenty-fifth day of the month Elul.
|
||||
16. When all our enemies heard this, all the surrounding nations were intimidated and lost their confidence, for they realized that this task had been accomplished by our God.
|
||||
|
||||
17. During those days, the nobles of Judah sent many letters to Tobiah, and Tobiah's letters came to them.
|
||||
18. For many in Judah were bound by oath to him, since he was a son-in-law of Shecaniah son of Arah, and his son Jehohanan had married the daughter of Meshullam son of Berechiah.
|
||||
19. These nobles kept mentioning Tobiah's good deeds to me, and they reported my words to him. And Tobiah sent letters to intimidate me.
