Nehemiah 6:2-4

Darby Translation

² that Sanballat and Geshem sent to me, saying, Come, let us meet together in the villages in the plain of Ono. But they thought to do me mischief.

³ And I sent messengers to them, saying, I am doing a great work, and I cannot come down. Why should the work cease, whilst I leave it and come down to you?

⁴ And they sent to me four times after this sort; and I answered them in the same manner.
