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.

Nehemías 6:9 In-Context

7 y que has puesto profetas que prediquen de ti en Jerusalén, diciendo: ¡Rey en Judá! Y ahora serán oídas del rey las tales palabras; ven, por tanto, y consultemos juntos.
8 Entonces envié yo a decirle: No hay tal cosa como dices, sino que de tu corazón tú lo inventas.
9 Porque todos ellos nos ponían miedo, diciendo: Se debilitarán las manos de ellos en la obra, y no será hecha. Esfuerza pues mis manos, oh Dios .
10 Vine luego en secreto a casa de Semaías hijo de Delaía, hijo de Mehetabel, porque él estaba encerrado; el cual me dijo: Juntémonos en la casa de Dios dentro del templo, y cerremos las puertas del templo, porque vienen para matarte; sí, esta noche vendrán a matarte.
11 Entonces dije: ¿Un hombre como yo ha de huir? ¿Y quién hay como yo que entre al templo y viva? No entraré.
