Commentary on Nehemiah 6:14

Theological / Devotional

Noadiah. This prophetess is not mentioned elsewhere. By mentioning her along with other unnamed prophets and Shemaiah (verses 11-13), Nehemiah implies that the incident related in verses 10-13 is but one of several of the kind, and that false prophets were again busy among the people as in the period preceding the captivity, seeking to seduce them and their leaders from listening to the voice of the true prophets. For the work of false prophets in the pre-exilic period see Isaiah 9:15; 28:7; Jeremiah 27:9, 10; 28:9, 15-17; 29:24-32; Ezekiel 13:2, 17; Micah 3:5-11.
