2

That Sanballath5571 and Geshemh1654 senth7971h8799 unto me, sayingh559h8800, Comeh3212h8798, let us meeth3259h8735 togetherh3162 in some one of the villagesh3715 in the plainh1237 of Onoh207. But they thoughth2803h8802 to doh6213h8800 me mischiefh7451.

And I senth7971h8799 messengersh4397 unto them, sayingh559h8800, I am doingh6213h8802 a greath1419 workh4399, so that I cannoth3201h8799 come downh3381h8800: why should the workh4399 ceaseh7673h8799, whilsth834 I leaveh7503h8686 it, and come downh3381h8804 to you?

Yet they senth7971h8799 unto me fourh702 timesh6471 after this sorth1697; and I answeredh7725h8686 them after the same mannerh1697.
