Nehemiah 6:6-8

New American Standard Bible

⁶ In it was written: “It is reported among the nations, and ^[a]Gashmu says, that ^(A)you and the Jews intend to rebel; for that reason you are rebuilding the wall. And you are to be their king, according to these reports. ⁷ You have also appointed prophets to proclaim in Jerusalem concerning ^[b]you, ‘A king is in Judah!’ And now it will be reported to the king according to these reports. So come now, let’s consult together.” ⁸ Then I sent a message to him saying, “Nothing like these things that you are saying has been done, but you are ^(B)inventing them ^[c]in your own mind.”
