Nehemiah 6

Sanballat, Tobiah, and Geshem attempt to lure Nehemiah from the wall-building through false invitations and accusations of rebellion, but Nehemiah refuses, discerning their plots[1][4]. Shemaiah tries to frighten him into hiding in the Temple as a false prophet, yet Nehemiah rejects the counsel, prays to Elohim to remember their schemes, and completes the wall in 52 days despite opposition[1][4].
