1 Kings 9:7
7 athen I will cut off Israel from the land that I have given them, band the house that I have consecrated for my name I will cast out of my sight, cand Israel will become a proverb and a byword among all peoples.Nehemiah 2:19
19But when Sanballat the Horonite and Tobiah the Ammonite servant and dGeshem the Arab heard of it, ethey jeered at us and despised us and said, “What is this thing that you are doing? fAre you rebelling against the king?”Nehemiah 4:1-4
Opposition to the Work
1 ▼▼Ch 3:33 in Hebrew
Now when hSanballat heard that we were building the wall, he was angry and greatly enraged, and he jeered at the Jews. 2And he said in the presence of his brothers and of the army of iSamaria, “What are these feeble Jews doing? Will they restore it for themselves? ▼▼Or Will they commit themselves to God?
Will they sacrifice? Will they finish up in a day? Will they revive the stones out of the heaps of rubbish, and burned ones at that?” 3 kTobiah the Ammonite was beside him, and he said, “Yes, what they are building— lif a fox goes up on it he will break down their stone wall!” 4 mHear, O our God, for we are despised. nTurn back their taunt on their own heads and give them up to be plundered in a land where they are captives.
