Nehemiah 6:17-19

International Standard Version

¹⁷ Meanwhile, at that time the nobles of Judah continued to send many letters to Tobiah, and Tobiah kept sending letters^[a] to them. ¹⁸ For many Judeans had sworn allegiance to him, since he was son-in-law to Arah’s son Shecaniah, and his son Jehohanan had married the daughter of Berechiah’s son Meshullam. ¹⁹ Furthermore, they kept reporting Tobiah’s^[b] good deeds to me, and kept repeating what I told him. Tobiah kept sending letters to intimidate me.
