Contextual Overview
7 But when Sanaballat, and Tobiah, and the Arabians, Ammonites, and Asdodites, heard that the walles of Hierusalem were made vp, & that the breaches began to be stopped, they were very wroth, 8 And conspired all together to come and fight against Hierusalem, and to make an hinderaunce therin. 9 Neuerthelesse, we made our prayer vnto our God, and set watchmen by them day and night, because of them. 10 And Iuda sayde: The strength of the bearers is feeble, and there is yet much more morter, and we are not able to buylde on the wall. 11 And our aduersaries sayde: They shall not knowe, neither see, till we come in the middes among them, and slay them, and cause the worke to ceasse. 12 But when the Iewes which dwelt beside them, came, they told vs as good as ten times, that in all places where ye go vnto, they are appoynted to fal vpon vs. 13 Therefore set I the people after their kinredes, with their swordes, speares, and bowes, beneath in the lowe places behinde the wall vpon the toppes of the stones. 14 And I loked, and gat me vp, and sayde vnto the chiefe men, to the rulers, and to the other people, Be not ye afrayde of them: but thinke rather vpon the great Lorde whiche ought to be feared, and fight for your brethre, your sonnes, your daughters, your wiues, & your houses. 15 Neuerthelesse, when our enemies heard that we had gotten worde of it, God brought their counsell to naught: and we turned all againe to the wall, euery one vnto his labour.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And conspired all of them together,.... All the above men and people entered into a confederacy and combination:
to come and to fight against Jerusalem; to bring an army with them, and by force cause the Jews to desist; the Jews e pretend they came to war, and brought with them an army of 180,000 men, which is not probable:
and to hinder it; the building of the walls of it; or "to make a wandering for him" f; for Nehemiah, or the people, or both, to, cause them to stray from their work, to frighten them from it, that they might become like men at their wits end, not knowing what to do, where to turn themselves, or what course to steer, but to wander about as persons out of their senses; so Aben Ezra. De Dieu joins this clause to the next verse, to cause everyone of them to wander, we prayed, c.
e Pirke Eliezer, c. 38. f לעשות לו תועה "ad faciendum ei errorem", Montanus "ei aberrationem", Genevenses; "vagationem et palationem", alii apud De Dieu.
