Enemies Try to Make Nehemiah Fearful

6 Now it happened when it was heard by Sanballat, Tobiah, Geshem the Arab, and the rest of our enemies that I had rebuilt the wall, and that no breach remained in it, ^(A)although at that time I had not made the doors to stand in the gates, ² that Sanballat and Geshem sent a message to me, saying, “Come, let us meet together at ^[a]Chephirim in the plain of ^(B)Ono.” But they were planning to ^[b]do me harm. ³ So I sent messengers to them, saying, “I am doing a great work and I cannot come down. Why should the work stop while I leave it and come down to you?”
