Nehemiah 6:16-18

Lexham English Bible

¹⁶ When our enemies heard of this, all of the nations surrounding us were afraid and lost their confidence.^[a] They knew that this work had been done with the help of our God. ¹⁷ Also, in those days the nobles of Judah increasingly sent their letters to Tobiah, and letters from Tobiah returned to them. ¹⁸ For many in Judah were bound by oath to him because he was the son-in-law of Shecaniah son of Arah. His son Jehohanan took as a wife the daughter of Meshullam son of Berekiah.
