15
So on October 2 a the wall was finally finished -- just fifty-two days after we had begun.
16
When our enemies and the surrounding nations heard about it, they were frightened and humiliated. They realized that this work had been done with the help of our God.
17
During those fifty-two days, many letters went back and forth between Tobiah and the officials of Judah.
18
For many in Judah had sworn allegiance to him because his father-in-law was Shecaniah son of Arah and because his son Jehohanan was married to the daughter of Meshullam son of Berekiah.
19
They kept telling me what a wonderful man Tobiah was, and then they told him everything I said. And Tobiah sent many threatening letters to intimidate me.
