Contextual Overview
1 And it happened, when it was heard by Sanballat, and Tobiah, and Geshem the Arabian, and to the rest of our enemies, that I had built the wall, and that no break was left in it though at that time I had not set up doors on the gates, 2 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 evil to me. 3 And I sent messengers to them, saying, I am doing a great work, and I cannot come down. Why should the work cease while I leave it and come down to you? 4 And they sent to me four times in this way. And I answered them in the same way. 5 Then Sanballat sent his servant to me in the same way the fifth time with an open letter in his hand, in which was written, 6 It is reported among the nations, and Gashmu says that you and the Jews plan to rebel; for which reason you are building the wall, so that you may be a king to them, according to these words. 7 And you have also set up prophets to preach about you at Jerusalem, saying, A king in Judah! And now it shall be reported to the king according to these words. Therefore, come now and let us consult together. 8 And I sent to him, saying, These things which you are saying are not happening, for you pretend them out of your own heart. 9 For they all made us fear, saying, Their hands shall be weakened from the work, and it will not be done. And now, make my hands strong.

and I answered them after the same manner; every time as before, he being as much bent on finishing the work as they were to divert him from it.
