Sanballat
Hawker's Poor Man's Concordance And Dictionary
The great enemy to Israel after their return from the captivity of Babylon: (see Nehemiah 2:19 and Nehemiah 6:1-19) The name is not strictly derived from the Hebrew: it hath been thought that as Sene means bush, and Lut, to hide, the union of those words forming a suitable name for the enemies of God's people, Sanballat was so called to imply an enemy in secret.
