Nehemiah 6:18-19

Expanded Bible

¹⁸ Many ·Jewish people [^Lin Judah] ·had promised to be faithful [were under oath; had sworn allegiance] to Tobiah, because he was the son-in-law of Shecaniah son of Arah. And Tobiah’s son Jehohanan had married the daughter of Meshullam son of Berekiah. ¹⁹ ·These important people [^LThey] kept telling me about the good ·things [deeds] Tobiah was doing, and then they would tell Tobiah ·what I said about him [^Lmy words]. So Tobiah sent letters to ·frighten [intimidate; terrorize] me.
