1 Sanballat, Tobiah, Geshem the Arab, and the rest of our enemies heard that I had rebuilt the wall and that no gaps had been left in it (although at that time I had not yet hung the doors in the city gates). 2 Then Sanballat and Geshem sent this message to me: |Let's meet in Hakkephirim on the plain of Ono.| They were planning to harm me. 3 I sent messengers to tell them, |I'm working on an important project and can't get away. Why should the work stop while I leave to meet with you?| 4 They sent the same message to me four times, and I answered them the same way. Nehemiah 6:1-4, God's Word Translation.
