In it was written,“ It is reported among the nations, and Geshem also says it, that you and the Jews intend to rebel; that is why you are building the wall. And according to these reports you wish to become their king.

You have made us the taunt of our neighbors, the derision and scorn of those around us.You have made us a byword among the nations, a laughingstock among the peoples.

And they laughed at him. But he put them all outside and took the child’s father and mother and those who were with him and went in where the child was.

Now when Sanballat and Tobiah and Geshem the Arab and the rest of our enemies heard that I had built the wall and that there was no breach left in it( although up to that time I had not set up the doors in the gates),Sanballat and Geshem sent to me, saying,“ Come and let us meet together at Hakkephirim in the plain of Ono.” But they intended to do me harm.
