SEV Biblia, Chapter 6:19
También contaban delante de mí sus buenas obras, y a él le referían mis palabras. Y enviaba Tobías cartas para atemorizarme.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 19. Also they reported his good deeds before me , etc.] Recommended him as a very worthy man, deserving of respect and notice by Nehemiah, and to be taken into his friendship, and admitted to conversation with him, whose counsel and advice might be of service: and uttered my words to him ; reported both what he said and did; for the word used signifies both words and actions: and Tobiah sent letters to put me in fear ; perceiving, by the intelligence of his friends, that Nehemiah would have nothing to say to him, nor to do with him, he threatened him.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 15-19 - The wall was begun and finished in fifty-two days, though they reste on the sabbaths. A great deal of work may be done in a little time, i we set about it in earnest, and keep close to it. See the mischief of marrying with strangers. When men once became akin to Tobiah, they soo became sworn to him. A sinful love leads to a sinful league. The enem of souls employs many instruments, and forms many projects, to brin reproach on the active servants of God, or to take them from their work. But we should follow the example of Him who laid down his lif for the sheep. Those that simply cleave to the Lord and his work wil be supported __________________________________________________________________
