Gill's Notes on the Bible

But it came to pass, that when Sanballat heard that we builded the wall,.... Or were building it; for as yet it was not finished, see Nehemiah 4:6,

he was wroth, and took great indignation; inwardly, though outwardly he pretended to treat the work with contempt, as if it never would be accomplished, which yet he feared:

and mocked the Jews; as a set of foolish builders, and unable to finish what they had begun.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER IV

Sanballat and Tobiah mock the Jews, and endeavour to prevent

the completing of the wall, 1-3.

Nehemiah prays against them, and the people complete one half of

the wall, 4-6.

The Arabians, Ammonites, and Ashdodites, conspire together, and

come to fight against the Jews, 7, 8.

The Jews commend themselves to God, and determine to fight for

their lives and liberties; on hearing of which their enemies are

disheartened, 9-16.

The Jews divide themselves into two bands; one half working, and

the other standing ready armed to meet their enemies. Even the

workmen are obliged to arm themselves, while employed in

building, for fear of their enemies, 17, 18.

Nehemiah uses all precautions to prevent a surprise; and all

labour with great fervour in the work, 19-22.
