I went to the house of Shemaiah the son of Delaiah the son of Mehetabel, who was shut in at his home; and he said, “Let us meet together in God’s house, within the temple, and let’s shut the doors of the temple; for they will come to kill you. Yes, in the night they will come to kill you.”

ગુજરાતીનહેમ્યા ૬:૧૦
મહેટાબેલના દીકરા દલાયાના દીકરા, શમાયાને ઘરે હું ગયો. ત્યારે તે બારણાં બંધ કરીને પોતાના જ ઘરમાં ભરાઈ રહ્યો હતો. તેણે કહ્યું, “આપણે આપણા ઈશ્વરના ઘરમાં, સભાસ્થાનની અંદર મળીએ. અને ભક્તિસ્થાનનાં બારણાં બંધ રાખીએ, કેમ કે તેઓ તને રાત્રે મારી નાખવા આવશે.”
हिन्दीनहेम्याह ६:१०
फिर मैं शमायाह के घर में गया, जो दलायाह का पुत्र और महेतबेल का पोता था, वह तो बन्द घर में था; उसने कहा, “आ, हम परमेश्वर के भवन अर्थात् मन्दिर के भीतर आपस में भेंट करें, और मन्दिर के द्वार बन्द करें; क्योंकि वे लोग तुझे घात करने आएँगे, रात ही को वे तुझे घात करने आएँगे।”

10I went to the house of Shemaiah the son of Delaiah the son of Mehetabel, who was shut in at his home; and he said, “Let us meet together in God’s house, within the temple, and let’s shut the doors of the temple; for they will come to kill you. Yes, in the night they will come to kill you.”

11I said, “Should a man like me flee? Who is there that, being such as I, would go into the temple to save his life? I will not go in.”

12I discerned, and behold, God had not sent him, but he pronounced this prophecy against me. Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him.
