Nehemiah 6:16-18

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁶ When our enemies heard this news, they were afraid. The people of all the nations who lived near Jerusalem were very afraid. They knew that our God had helped us to finish this great work.

¹⁷ During this time, the leaders in Judah were sending letters to Tobiah. Tobiah was also sending his replies to them. ¹⁸ Many people in Judah had promised to obey Tobiah. That was because his wife was the daughter of Arah's son, Shecaniah. Also, his son Jehohanan had married the daughter of Berekiah's son, Meshullam.^[a]
