Nehemías 6:9 Meaning and Commentary

Nehemiah 6:9

For they all made us afraid
Or you all, as Aben Ezra interprets it; or all the Heathen nations, as Jarchi; this was the design of all those scandalous reports, to intimidate them, and with this they pleased themselves, as follows:

their hands shall be weakened from the work, that it be not done;
this they hoped would be the effect of those reports sent to them:

now, therefore, O God, strengthen my hands;
and let them not have what they will, and hope for; according to Aben Ezra, these words are directed to Sanballat, that if he was a friend, as he pretended, that instead of weakening, he would strengthen his hands by a sincere reconciliation; so Vatablus; but they are an address to God, such short ejaculations being usual with Nehemiah.

7 y has nombrado profetas para que te proclamen rey en Jerusalén, y se declare: “¡Tenemos rey en Judá!” Por eso, ven y hablemos de este asunto, antes de que todo esto llegue a oídos del rey».
8 Yo envié a decirle: «Nada de lo que dices es cierto. Todo esto es pura invención tuya».
9 En realidad, lo que pretendían era asustarnos. Pensaban desanimarnos, para que no termináramos la obra.«Y ahora, Señor, ¡fortalece mis manos!»
10 Fui entonces a la casa de Semaías, hijo de Delaías y nieto de Mehitabel, que se había encerrado en su casa. Él me dijo:«Reunámonos a puerta cerradaen la casa de Dios,en el interior del templo,porque vendrán a matarte.¡Sí, esta noche te quitarán la vida!»
11 Pero yo le respondí:—¡Yo no soy de los que huyen! ¡Los hombres como yo no corren a esconderse en el templo para salvar la vida! ¡No me esconderé!
