16:006:010 Afterward I came unto the house of Shemaiah the son of Delaiah
           the son of Mehetabeel, 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 slay
           thee; yea, in the night will they come to slay thee.

16:006:011 And I said, Should such a man as I flee? and who is there,
           that, being as I am, would go into the temple to save his
           life?  I will not go in.

16:006:012 And, lo, I perceived that God had not sent him; but that he
           pronounced this prophecy against me:  for Tobiah and Sanballat
           had hired him.

16:006:013 Therefore 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.

16:006:014 My God, think thou upon Tobiah and Sanballat according to
           these their works, and on the prophetess Noadiah, and the rest
           of the prophets, that would have put me in fear.

16:006:015 So the wall was finished in the twenty and fifth day of the
           month Elul, in fifty and two days.

16:006:016 And it came to pass, that when all our enemies heard thereof,
           and all the heathen that were about us saw these things, they
           were much cast down in their own eyes:  for they perceived that
           this work was wrought of our God.

16:006:017 Moreover in those days the nobles of Judah sent many letters
           unto Tobiah, and the letters of Tobiah came unto them.

16:006:018 For there were many in Judah sworn unto him, because he was
           the son in law of Shechaniah the son of Arah; and his son
           Johanan had taken the daughter of Meshullam the son of
           Berechiah.

16:006:019 Also they reported his good deeds before me, and uttered my
           words to him.  And Tobiah sent letters to put me in fear.

16:007:001 Now it came to pass, when the wall was built, and I had set up
           the doors, and the porters and the singers and the Levites
           were appointed,

16:007:002 That I gave my brother Hanani, and Hananiah the ruler of the
           palace, charge over Jerusalem:  for he was a faithful man, and
           feared God above many.

16:007:003 And I said unto them, Let not the gates of Jerusalem be opened
           until the sun be hot; and while they stand by, let them shut
           the doors, and bar them:  and appoint watches of the
           inhabitants of Jerusalem, every one in his watch, and every
           one to be over against his house.

16:007:004 Now the city was large and great:  but the people were few
           therein, and the houses were not builded.
