Nehemiah 6:10

Then I went to the house of [the hired false prophet] Shemaiah, son of Delaja, son of Mehetavel [perhaps his grandmother], where he was staying (locked up).
[Shemaiah is not mentioned anywhere else, but his genealogy indicates that he was probably an important person in society. He was hired by Tobiah and Sanballat to prophesy against Nehemiah, see verse 12. The name Shemaiah means "heard by Yahweh." His father's name, Delaja, means "Yahweh has drawn/lifted." Mehetabel means "favor/joy from El," and she may be his grandmother. The name appears only in two other places in the Bible, referring to Mehetabel, the wife of Hadad, king of Edom, see Gen. 36:39; 1 Chron. 1:50. The last word in the sentence is Hebr. atsar, which means "locked up" or without strength and restrained. The reason why Shemaiah stays at home is not given.]
He [Shemaiah] said: "Let us meet in the house of God (Elohim), in the temple, and let us close the doors of the temple, for they will come here to kill you (literally: strike with deadly force). Yes, at night they will come and kill you."
