Nehemiah 6:14 Meaning and Commentary

Nehemiah 6:14

My God, think thou on Tobiah and Sanballat according to these
their works
Their wicked counsels and schemes, and not only confound and disappoint them, but reward them as they deserve:

and on the prophetess Noadiah:
whom Aben Ezra takes to be the same with Shemaiah, because he said, (dewn) , "let us meet" ( Nehemiah 6:10 ) , but no doubt it is the name of a woman, a false prophetess, and was hired, and in the same scheme with Shemaiah:

and the rest of the prophets that would have put me in fear;
and so put him on leaving the people, and the work he was engaged in, and flee for his safety; it seems there were more than are by name mentioned, who sought to discourage and intimidate him.

Nehemiah 6:14 In-Context

12 I realized that God had not sent him, but that he had uttered this prophecy against me because Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him.

13 He had been hired to intimidate me so that I would sin by doing as he suggested, so they could give me a bad name in order to discredit me.

14 O my God, remember Tobiah and Sanballat for what they have done, and also Noadiah the prophetess and the other prophets who tried to intimidate me.

15 So the wall was completed in fifty-two days, on the twenty-fifth of Elul.

16 When all our enemies heard about this, all the surrounding nations were afraid and disheartened, for they realized that this task had been accomplished by our God.
