Nehemiah 6:5 Context
3And I sent messengers vnto them, saying, I am doing a great worke, so that I can not come down: why should the worke cease, whilest I leaue it, and come downe to you? 4Yet they sent vnto me foure times, after this sort; and I answered them after the same maner. 5Then sent Sanballat his seruant vnto me, in like manner, the fifth time, with an open letter in his hand: 6Wherein was written; It is reported among the heathen, and Gashmu sayth it, that thou and the Iewes thinke to rebell: for which cause thou buildest the wall, that thou mayest be their King, according to these words. 7And thou hast also appointed Prophets to preach of thee at Ierusalem, saying, There is a King in Iudah. And now shall it be reported to the king, according to these wordes. Come now therefore, and let vs take counsell together.
