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.”
I 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.”
