5Then, the fifth time, Sanballat sent his aide to me with the same message, and in his hand was an unsealed letter
2 Sanballat and Geshem sent me this message: "Come, let us meet together in one of the villages on the plain of Ono." But they were scheming to harm me;
3 so I sent messengers to them with this reply: "I am carrying on a great project and cannot go down. Why should the work stop while I leave it and go down to you?"
4 Four times they sent me the same message, and each time I gave them the same answer.
5 Then, the fifth time, Sanballat sent his aide to me with the same message, and in his hand was an unsealed letter
6 in which was written: "It is reported among the nations-and Geshem says it is true-that you and the Jews are plotting to revolt, and therefore you are building the wall. Moreover, according to these reports you are about to become their king
7 and have even appointed prophets to make this proclamation about you in Jerusalem: 'There is a king in Judah!' Now this report will get back to the king; so come, let us confer together."
6:5Then sent Sanballat his servant unto me in like manner the fifth time with an open letter in his hand;
6:5And Sanaballat sent his servant to me the fifth time according to the former word, and he had a letter in his hand written in this manner:
6:5Then sent Sanballat his servant unto me in like manner the fifth time with an open letter in his hand,

6:5Then sent Sanballat his servant unto me in like manner the fifth time with an open letter in his hand;
6:5Then Sanballat sent his servant to me in like manner the fifth time with an open letter in his hand;
6:5Then Sanballat sent his servant to me the same way the fifth time with an open letter in his hand,
6:5And Sanballat sendeth unto me, according to this word, a fifth time, his servant, and an open letter in his hand;
6:5Then sent Sanballat his servant to me in like manner the fifth time with an open letter in his hand;
