Contextual Overview
1Now it happened when it was heard by Sanballat, Tobiah, Geshem the Arab, and the rest of our enemies that I had rebuilt the wall, and that no breach remained in it, although at that time I had not made the doors to stand in the gates, 2that Sanballat and Geshem sent a message to me, saying, "Come, let us meet together at Chephirim in the plain of Ono." But they were planning to do me harm. 3So I sent messengers to them, saying, "I am doing a great work and I cannot come down. Why should the work stop while I leave it and come down to you?" 4And they sent messages to me four times in this manner, and I responded to them in the same manner. 5Then Sanballat sent his young man to me in the same manner a fifth time with an open letter in his hand. 6In it was written, "It is heard among the nations, and Gashmu says, that you and the Jews are planning to rebel; therefore you are rebuilding the wall. And you are to be their king, according to these words. 7You have also set up prophets to call out in Jerusalem concerning you, ‘A king is in Judah!' So now it will be heard by the king according to these words. So now, come, let us take counsel together." 8Then I sent a message to him, saying, "Such words as you are saying have not been done, but you are devising them in your own heart." 9For all of them were trying to frighten us, thinking, "Their hands will become limp in doing the work, and it will not be done." But now, O God, strengthen my hands.

Yet they sent unto me four times after this sort,.... Being very desirous of getting him into their hands, and therefore were very pressing and importunate:
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.
