Nehemiah 6:6-8

The Voice

Sanballat’s Letter: ⁶ A report has gone out to the surrounding nations that you are rebuilding the wall because you and your fellow Jews are planning to revolt against Persia. Geshem^[a] confirms this report and suggests you are looking to be crowned as king. Rumor has it ⁷ that you have even appointed prophets to announce in Jerusalem, “Judah has a king!” referencing you. Be assured, this very report will make it back to King Artaxerxes. Meet with us at once.

Nehemiah’s Message: There is nothing to what you are saying. You are making it all up.
