Nehemiah 6:5-7

The Message

^5-6 The fifth time—same messenger, same message—Sanballat sent an unsealed letter with this message:

^6-7 “The word is out among the nations—and Geshem says it’s true—that you and the Jews are planning to rebel. That’s why you are rebuilding the wall. The word is that you want to be king and that you have appointed prophets to announce in Jerusalem, ‘There’s a king in Judah!’ The king is going to be told all this—don’t you think we should sit down and have a talk?”
