| 1 | Now it happened, when it was reported to Sanballat and Tobiah, and to Geshem the Arabian, and to the rest of our enemies, that I had built the wall, and that there was no breach left therein; (though even to that time I had not set up the doors in the gates;) | Ne 2:10 Ne 2:19 Ne 4:1 Ne 4:7 |
| 2 | that Sanballat and Geshem sent to me, saying, Come, let us meet together in [one of] the villages in the plain of Ono. But they thought to do me mischief. | 2Sa 3:27 2Sa 20:9 Ps 37:12 Pr 26:24-26 Ec 4:4 |
| 3 | I sent messengers to them, saying, I am doing a great work, so that I can`t come down: why should the work cease, while I leave it, and come down to you? | Pr 14:15 Mt 10:16 |
| 4 | They sent to me four times after this sort; and I answered them after the same manner. | Jg 16:6 Jg 16:10 Jg 16:15-20 Pr 7:21 Lk 18:5 1Co 15:58 Ga 2:5 |
| 5 | Then sent Sanballat his servant to me in like manner the fifth time with an open letter in his hand, | 2Ki 18:26-28 2Co 2:11 2Co 11:13-15 Eph 6:11 2Th 2:10 |
| 6 | in which was written, It is reported among the nations, and Gashmu says it, that you and the Jews think to rebel; for which cause you are building the wall: and you would be their king, according to these words. | Jer 9:3-6 Jer 20:10 Mt 5:11 Ro 3:8 2Co 6:8 1Pe 2:12 1Pe 2:13 1Pe 3:16 |
| 7 | You have also appointed prophets to preach of you at Jerusalem, saying, There is a king in Judah: and now shall it be reported to the king according to these words. Come now therefore, and let us take counsel together. | Ne 6:12 Ne 6:13 |
| 8 | Then I sent to him, saying, There are no such things done as you say, but you feign them out of your own heart. | Ac 24:12 Ac 24:13 Ac 25:7 Ac 25:10 |
| 9 | For they all would have made us afraid, saying, Their hands shall be weakened from the work, that it not be done. But now, [God], strengthen you my hands. | Ne 6:14 Ne 4:10-14 2Ch 32:18 |
| 10 | I went to the house of Shemaiah the son of Delaiah the son of Mehetabel, who was shut up; and he said, Let us meet together in the house of God, within the temple, and let us shut the doors of the temple: for they will come to kill you; yes, in the night will they come to kill you. | Ne 6:12 Ezr 8:16 Ezr 10:31 Pr 11:9 Mt 7:15 |
| 11 | I said, Should such a man as I flee? and who is there that, being such as I, would go into the temple to save his life? I will not go in. | Ne 6:3 1Sa 19:5 Jb 4:3-6 Ps 11:1 Ps 11:2 Ps 112:6 Ps 112:8 Pr 28:1 Isa 10:18 Lk 13:31-33 Ac 8:1 Ac 20:24 Ac 21:13 Heb 11:27 |
| 12 | I discerned, and, behold, God had not sent him; but he pronounced this prophecy against me: and Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him. | Ezk 13:22 1Co 2:15 1Co 12:10 |
| 13 | For this cause was he hired, that I should be afraid, and do so, and sin, and that they might have matter for an evil report, that they might reproach me. | Pr 29:5 Isa 51:7 Isa 51:12 Isa 51:13 Isa 57:11 Jer 1:17 Ezk 2:6 Ezk 13:17-23 Mt 10:28 2Ti 1:7 Rev 21:8 |
| 14 | Remember, my God, Tobiah and Sanballat according to these their works, and also the prophetess Noadiah, and the rest of the prophets, that would have put me in fear. | Ne 5:19 Ps 22:1 Ps 63:1 |
| 15 | So the wall was finished in the twenty-fifth [day] of [the month] Elul, in fifty-two days. | Ezr 6:15 Ps 1:3 Dn 9:25 |
| 16 | It happened, when all our enemies heard [of it], that all the nations that were about us feared, and were much cast down in their own eyes; for they perceived that this work was worked of our God. | Ne 2:10 Ne 4:1 Ne 4:7 Ne 6:1 Ne 6:2 |
| 17 | Moreover in those days the nobles of Judah sent many letters to Tobiah, and [the letters] of Tobiah came to them. | Ne 3:5 Ne 5:7 Ne 13:28 Mic 7:1-6 Mt 24:10-12 |
| 18 | For there were many in Judah sworn to him, because he was the son-in-law of Shecaniah the son of Arah; and his son Jehohanan had taken the daughter of Meshullam the son of Berechiah as wife. | Ne 7:10 Ezr 2:5 |
| 19 | Also they spoke of his good deeds before me, and reported my words to him. Tobiah sent letters to put me in fear. | Pr 28:4 Jn 7:7 Jn 15:19 1Jn 4:5 |
