Nehemiah 6:11-13

International Children’s Bible

¹¹ But I said, “Should a man like me run away? Should I run into the Temple to save my life? I will not go.” ¹² I knew that God had not sent him. Tobiah and Sanballat had paid him to prophesy against me. ¹³ They paid him to frighten me so I would do this and sin. Then they could give me a bad name to shame me.
