SANBALLAT. 517 SAN CARLOS. to a meeting in one of the villages of One, which Xeheniiali refused to attend (vi. 2-4); that he sent a letter to Neliemiali in wliieh he threatened to report what he had heard from tieshem and others, that the walls were being repairi'd as a jireparation for rehellion and (hat i)roj)hets were appointed tu proelaini Neheniiah as king (vi. 5-8) : and that he hired Shemaiah, Noadiah the proplietess. and others to trod)le the Governor of Jerusalem (vi. 10-14). While all this elearly reveals Keheniiah's sus])ieions and furnishes good groiMid for supposing that Sanballat feared the elleet of the fortification of Jerusalem and was hostile to Xeheniiali, it su])plies no gvidenee of violence, bad faith, or falsehood on his part. Shemaiah's act niay have been one of gen- uine friendship or of mistaken zeal.
