Gill's Notes on the Bible
Then the people of the land weakened the hands of the people of Judah, and troubled them in building. By threatening them, or by dissuading the workmen from going on, by endeavouring to hinder their having materials from the Tyrians and Zidonians, or money out of the king's revenues to bear the expenses as ordered; see Ezra 6:4.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Ezra 4:4. Weakened the hands — Discouraged and opposed them by every possible means.
