Nehemiah 6:17-19

International Children’s Bible

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. ¹⁹ Those important men kept telling me about the good things Tobiah was doing. Then they would tell Tobiah what I said about him. So Tobiah sent letters to frighten me.
