Nehemiah 6:17-19

EasyEnglish Bible

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] 19} The leaders would often speak about the good things that Tobiah had done. They would then go and tell Tobiah everything that I had said. So Tobiah continued to send letters to frighten me.
