Nehemiah 6:17-19

New International Reader's Version

¹⁷ In those days the nobles of Judah sent many letters to Tobiah. And replies from Tobiah came back to them. ¹⁸ Many people in Judah had promised that they would be faithful to him. That’s because he was Shekaniah’s son-in-law. Shekaniah was the son of Arah. Tobiah’s son Jehohanan had married Meshullam’s daughter. Meshullam was the son of Berekiah. ¹⁹ Tobiah’s friends kept reporting to me the good things he did. They also kept telling him what I said. And Tobiah himself sent letters to scare me.
