Nehemiah 6:11

Attempts To Intimidate Nehemiah

¹⁰ When, I, came into the house of Shemaiah, son of Delaiah, son of Mehetabel, he, being shut in, he said, Let us meet together in the house of God, in the midst of the temple, and let us close the doors of the temple, for they are coming to slay thee, yea, by night, are they coming to slay thee. ¹¹ Then said I, Should, such a man as I, flee? Who then, being such as I, would enter the temple to save his life? I will not enter. ¹² Then perceived I, that lo! it was, not God, who had sent him, - though, a prophecy, he had spoken concerning me, but, Tobiah and Sanballat, had hired him:
