Commentary
Commentary on Nehemiah 6:17
Theological / DevotionalMany letters. Further light is here thrown on the desperate attempts of Tobiah to overthrow Nehemiah and bring his labors to a halt, and on the disloyalty of certain men of the nobility, already hinted at in chapter 3:5. A vigorous correspondence was carried on between Tobiah and those high in Jewish affairs, with the object of frightening Nehemiah (verse 19). Such correspondence could not remain unknown to Nehemiah, for the majority were loyal to him. Furthermore, it may be that no attempt was made to keep it secret.
