"Remember, O my God, Tobiah and Sanballat according to these their works, and also the prophetess Noadiah, and the rest of the prophets, that would have put me in fear." — Nehemiah 6:14 (ASV)
My God, think you on Tobiah and Sanballat according to these
their works
Their wicked counsels and schemes, and not only confound and disappoint them, but reward them as they deserve:
and on the prophetess Noadiah :
whom Aben Ezra takes to be the same with Shemaiah, because he said, (dewn) , "let us meet" (Nehemiah 6:10), but no doubt it is the name of a woman, a false prophetess, and was hired, and in the same scheme with Shemaiah:
and the rest of the prophets that would have put me in fear ;
and so put him on leaving the people, and the work he was engaged in, and flee for his safety; it seems there were more than are by name mentioned, who sought to discourage and intimidate him.
