Neemia 6:18 Meaning and Commentary

Nehemiah 6:18

For there were many in Judah sworn unto him
To Tobiah, who not only in a private manner corresponded with him by letters, but bound themselves by an oath to him to be true to his interest, and do as he should advise them:

because he was the son in law of Shechaniah, the son of Arah;
of a family that came up with Zerubbabel from the captivity, ( Ezra 2:5 ) and very probably of considerable note:

and his son Johanan had taken the daughter of Meshullam the son of
Berechiah;
a very eminent person, concerned in building the wall, ( Nehemiah 3:4 Nehemiah 3:30 ) .

Neemia 6:18 In-Context

16 E quando tutti i nostri nemici l’ebber saputo, tutte le nazioni circonvicine furon prese da timore, e restarono grandemente avvilite ai loro propri occhi perché riconobbero che quest’opera s’era compiuta con l’aiuto del nostro Dio.
17 In que’ giorni, anche de’ notabili di Giuda mandavano frequenti lettere a Tobia, e ne ricevevano da Tobia,
18 giacché molti in Giuda gli eran legati per giuramento perch’egli era genero di Scecania figliuolo di Arah, e Johanan, suo figliuolo, avea sposata la figliuola di Meshullam, figliuolo di Berekia.
19 Essi dicevan del bene di lui perfino in presenza mia, e gli riferivan le mie parole. E Tobia mandava lettere per impaurirmi.
