Summary Of Commentaries Associated With The Selected Verse
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
| The existence of a party among the Jews who sided with Sanballat and lent themselves to his schemes, is here for the first time indicated. Compare Neh 6:14, Neh 6:17-19; Neh 13:4-5, Neh 13:28. |
28 And one of the sons [01121] of Joiada [03111], the son [01121] of Eliashib [0475] the high [01419] priest [03548], was son in law [02860] to Sanballat [05571] the Horonite [02772]: therefore I chased [01272] him from me.
4 And before [06440] this, Eliashib [0475] the priest [03548], having the oversight [05414] of the chamber [03957] of the house [01004] of our God [0430], was allied [07138] unto Tobiah [02900]:
5 And he had prepared [06213] for him a great [01419] chamber [03957], where aforetime [06440] they laid [05414] the meat offerings [04503], the frankincense [03828], and the vessels [03627], and the tithes [04643] of the corn [01715], the new wine [08492], and the oil [03323], which was commanded [04687] to be given to the Levites [03881], and the singers [07891], and the porters [07778]; and the offerings [08641] of the priests [03548].
17 Moreover in those days [03117] the nobles [02715] of Judah [03063] sent [01980] many [07235] letters [0107] unto Tobiah [02900], and the letters of Tobiah [02900] came [0935] unto them.
18 For there were many [07227] in Judah [03063] sworn [01167] [07621] unto him, because he was the son in law [02860] of Shechaniah [07935] the son [01121] of Arah [0733]; and his son [01121] Johanan [03076] had taken [03947] the daughter [01323] of Meshullam [04918] the son [01121] of Berechiah [01296].
19 Also they reported [0559] his good deeds [02896] before [06440] me, and uttered [03318] my words [01697] to him. And Tobiah [02900] sent [07971] letters [0107] to put me in fear [03372].
14 My God [0430], think [02142] thou upon Tobiah [02900] and Sanballat [05571] according to these their works [04639], and on the prophetess [05031] Noadiah [05129], and the rest [03499] of the prophets [05030], that would have put me in fear [03372].
