Nehemiah 6:5-7

Revised Geneva Translation

⁵ Then Sanballat sent his servant to me as before for the fifth time, with an open letter in his hand,

⁶ in which was written, “It is reported among the heathen, and Gashmu has said so, that you and the Jews plan to rebel, for which reason you built the wall. And you will be their king according to these words.

⁷ “You have also ordained the Prophets to preach of you at Jerusalem, saying, “There is a king in Judah.” And now according to these words, it shall come to the king’s ears. Come now, therefore, and let us take counsel together.”
