Nehemiah 6:16-18

International Children’s Bible

¹⁶ Then all our enemies heard about it. And all the nations around us saw it. So they were shamed. They understood that the work had been done with the help of our God.

¹⁷ Also in those days the important men of Judah sent many letters to Tobiah. And Tobiah answered them. ¹⁸ Many Jews had promised to be faithful to Tobiah. This was because Tobiah was the son-in-law of Shecaniah son of Arah. And Tobiah’s son Jehohanan had married the daughter of Meshullam son of Berekiah.
