Commentary
Gill's Exposition
Then Sanballat and Geshem sent unto me,.... Messengers: saying, come, let us meet together in some one of the villages; in Cephirim, which Jarchi takes to be the name of
a place, perhaps the same with Cephirah, a city in the tribe of Benjamin, Jos 18:26 in the plain of Ono; which was in the same tribe, see Ch1 8:12 , they might pretend a friendly meeting, to accommodate differences between them, or to converse together about the general interest of the king of Persia in those parts: but they thought to do me mischief; to kill him, or at least to confine him; this he either conjectured from their general character and behaviour, or he had intelligence of their design.
