Nehemiah 6:5-7

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁵ Then Sanballat sent his servant to me again the fifth time with an open letter.

⁶ In it was written: It is reported among the neighboring nations, and Gashmu says it, that you and the Jews plan to rebel; therefore you are building the wall, that you may be their king, according to the report.

⁷ Also you have set up prophets to announce concerning you in Jerusalem, There is a king in Judah. And now this will be reported to the [Persian] king. So, come now and let us take counsel together.
