Nehemiah 2:19

19But when Sanballat the Horonite and Tobiah the Ammonite servant and aGeshem the Arab heard of it, bthey jeered at us and despised us and said, “What is this thing that you are doing? cAre you rebelling against the king?”

Nehemiah 4:2-3

2And he said in the presence of his brothers and of the army of dSamaria, “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 fTobiah the Ammonite was beside him, and he said, “Yes, what they are buildinggif a fox goes up on it he will break down their stone wall!”
