Sanballat Reacts to the Progress

^7 [a]But when Sanballat, Tobiah, the Arabs, the Ammonites, and the Ashdodites heard that the repair work on the Jerusalem wall was progressing and that its breaches were being repaired, they flew into a rage. ⁸ So they all conspired together to invade and fight against Jerusalem, creating confusion there.
