when Sanballat: Nehemiah 2:10, Nehemiah 2:19, Nehemiah 4:1, Nehemiah 4:7

Geshem: Nehemiah 6:6, Gashmu

no breach: Nehemiah 4:6, Nehemiah 4:7, Daniel 9:25

at that time: Nehemiah 3:1, Nehemiah 3:3, Nehemiah 3:6

Reciprocal: Nehemiah 4:3 - Tobiah Nehemiah 6:16 - when all our enemies Nehemiah 7:1 - I had set up Psalms 41:6 - speaketh Psalms 147:13 - he hath Isaiah 58:12 - The repairer

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Now it came to pass, when Sanballat and Tobiah, and Geshem the Arabian, and the rest of our enemies, heard that I had builded the wall,.... Quite finished it:

and that there was no breach left therein; but all was made up firm and strong:

though at that time I had not set up the doors upon the gates; not upon all of them, though some might by the particular builders of them; and they all of them might be ready made, though not as yet put upon the hinges.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Upon the gates - Rather, “in the gates.” This work would naturally be delayed until the last phase.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER VI

Sanballat, Tobiah, and Geshem, insidiously desire a conference

with Nehemiah, which he refuses, 1-4.

They then charge him with the design of rebelling, and causing

himself to be made king, 5-7;

which he denies, and prays to God for support, 8, 9.

A false prophet is hired by Tobiah and Sanballat, to put him in

fear; he discovers the imposture, and defeats their design,

10-13.

He prays to God against them, 14.

The wall is finished in fifty-two days, 15.

He discovers a secret and treasonable correspondence between

Tobiah and some of the Jewish nobles, 16-19.
