Ezra 2:60the descendants of Delaiah, the descendants of Tobiah, and the descendants of Nekoda, 652 in all.Nehemiah 2:10But when Sanballat the Horonite and Tobiah the Ammonite official heard about this, they were deeply disturbed that someone had come to seek the well-being of the Israelites.Nehemiah 2:19But when Sanballat the Horonite, Tobiah the Ammonite official, and Geshem the Arab heard about this, they mocked us and ridiculed us, saying, “What is this you are doing? Are you rebelling against the king?”Nehemiah 4:3Then Tobiah the Ammonite, who was beside him, said, “If even a fox were to climb up on what they are building, it would break down their wall of stones!”Nehemiah 4:7When Sanballat and Tobiah, together with the Arabs, Ammonites, and Ashdodites, heard that the repair to the walls of Jerusalem was progressing and that the gaps were being closed, they were furious,Nehemiah 4:8and all of them conspired to come and fight against Jerusalem and create a hindrance.Nehemiah 6:1When Sanballat, Tobiah, Geshem the Arab, and the rest of our enemies heard that I had rebuilt the wall and not a gap was left—though to that time I had not yet installed the doors in the gates—Nehemiah 6:2Sanballat and Geshem sent me this message: “Come, let us meet together in one of the villages on the plain of Ono.” But they were planning to harm me.Nehemiah 6:3So I sent messengers to them, saying, “I am doing a great work and cannot come down. Why should the work stop while I leave it to go down to you?”Nehemiah 6:4Four times they sent me the same message, and each time I gave the same reply.Nehemiah 6:5The fifth time, Sanballat sent me this same message by his young servant, who had in his hand an unsealed letterNehemiah 6:6that read: “It is reported among the nations—and Geshem agrees—that you and the Jews are plotting to revolt, and this is why you are building the wall. According to these reports, you are to become their king,Nehemiah 6:7and you have even appointed prophets in Jerusalem to proclaim on your behalf: ‘There is a king in Judah.’ Soon these rumors will reach the ears of the king. So come, let us confer together.”Nehemiah 6:8Then I sent him this reply: “There is nothing to these rumors you are spreading; you are inventing them in your own mind.”Nehemiah 6:9For they were all trying to frighten us, saying, “Their hands will be weakened in the work, and it will never be finished.” But now, my God, strengthen my hands.Nehemiah 6:10Later, I went to the house of Shemaiah son of Delaiah, the son of Mehetabel, who was confined to his house. He said: “Let us meet at the house of God inside the temple. Let us shut the temple doors because they are coming to kill you—by night they are coming to kill you!”Nehemiah 6:11But I replied, “Should a man like me run away? Should one like me go into the temple to save his own life? I will not go!”Nehemiah 6:12I realized that God had not sent him, but that he had uttered this prophecy against me because Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him.Nehemiah 6:13He had been hired to intimidate me so that I would sin by doing as he suggested, so they could give me a bad name in order to discredit me.Nehemiah 6:14O my God, remember Tobiah and Sanballat for what they have done, and also Noadiah the prophetess and the other prophets who tried to intimidate me.Nehemiah 6:17Also in those days, the nobles of Judah sent many letters to Tobiah, and Tobiah’s letters kept coming to them.Nehemiah 6:18For many in Judah were bound by oath to him, since he was a son-in-law of Shecaniah son of Arah, and his son Jehohanan had married the daughter of Meshullam son of Berechiah.Nehemiah 6:19Moreover, these nobles kept reporting to me Tobiah’s good deeds, and they relayed my words to him. And Tobiah sent letters to intimidate me.Nehemiah 7:62the descendants of Delaiah, the descendants of Tobiah, and the descendants of Nekoda, 642 in all.Nehemiah 13:4Now before this, Eliashib the priest, a relative of Tobiah, had been put in charge of the storerooms of the house of our GodNehemiah 13:5and had prepared for Tobiah a large room where they had previously stored the grain offerings, the frankincense, the temple articles, and the tithes of grain, new wine, and oil prescribed for the Levites, singers, and gatekeepers, along with the contributions for the priests.Nehemiah 13:6While all this was happening, I was not in Jerusalem, because I had returned to Artaxerxes king of Babylon in the thirty-second year of his reign. Some time later I obtained leave from the kingNehemiah 13:7to return to Jerusalem. Then I discovered the evil that Eliashib had done on behalf of Tobiah by providing him a room in the courts of the house of God.Nehemiah 13:8And I was greatly displeased and threw all of Tobiah’s household goods out of the room.Nehemiah 13:9Then I ordered that the rooms be purified, and I had the articles of the house of God restored to them, along with the grain offerings and frankincense.
