aRemember, O my God, Tobiah and Sanballat according to these works of theirs, and also Noadiah bthe prophetess and the rest of the prophets who were trying to frighten me.So athe wall was completed on the twenty-fifth of the month Elul, in fifty-two days.aWhen all our enemies heard of it, and all the nations surrounding us saw it, they lost their confidence; for bthey recognized that this work had been accomplished with the help of our God.Also in those days many letters went from the nobles of Judah to Tobiah, and Tobiah's letters came to them.For many in Judah were bound by oath to him because he was the son-in-law of Shecaniah the son of Arah, and his son Jehohanan had married the daughter of Meshullam the son of Berechiah.

And could one such as I go into the temple to save his life? I will not go in."Then I perceived that surely God had not sent him, but he uttered his prophecy against me because Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him.He was hired for this reason, athat I might become frightened and act accordingly and sin, so that they might have an evil report in order that they could reproach me.

And you are to be their king, according to these reports."You have also appointed prophets to proclaim in Jerusalem concerning you, 'A king is in Judah!' And now it will be reported to the king according to these reports. So come now, let us take counsel together."Then I sent a message to him saying, "Such things as you are saying have not been done, but you are ainventing them in your own mind."For all of them were trying to frighten us, thinking, "They will become discouraged with the work and it will not be done." But now, aO God, strengthen my hands.

But they were planning to harm me.So I sent messengers to them, saying, "I am doing a great work and I cannot come down. Why should the work stop while I leave it and come down to you?"They sent messages to me four times in this manner, and I answered them in the same way.

Yet for all this bI did not demand the governor's food allowance, because the servitude was heavy on this people.aRemember me, O my God, for good, according to all that I have done for this people.

And ball the assembly said, "Amen!" And they praised the Lord. Then the people did according to this promise.Moreover, from the day that I was appointed to be their governor in the land of Judah, from athe twentieth year to the bthirty-second year of King Artaxerxes, for twelve years, neither I nor my kinsmen have eaten the governor's food allowance.But the former governors who were before me laid burdens on the people and took from them bread and wine besides forty shekels of silver; even their servants domineered the people. But I did not do so abecause of the fear of God.

So I called the priests and ctook an oath from them that they would do according to this promise.Again I said, "The thing which you are doing is not good; should you not walk in the fear of our God because of athe reproach of the nations, our enemies?
