وَلَمَّا سَمِعَ سَنْبَلَّطُ الْحُورُونِيُّ وَطُوبِيَّا الْعَبْدُ الْعَمُّونِيُّ وَجَشَمٌ الْعَرَبِيُّ هَزَأُوا بِنَا وَاحْتَقَرُونَا، وَقَالُوا: «مَا هذَا الأَمْرُ الَّذِي أَنْتُمْ عَامِلُونَ؟ أَعَلَى الْمَلِكِ تَتَمَرَّدُونَ؟».

When the adversaries of the Jews heard this, they derided their resolution. Beside Sanballat and Tobiah (comp. Neh 2:10), Geshem the Arabian is also named as an adversary: so, too, Neh 6:1-2, and Neh 6:6, where Gashmu, the fuller pronunciation of his name, occurs. He was probably the chief of some Arab race dwelling in South Palestine, not far from Jerusalem (comp. the Arabians, Neh 6:1). These enemies ironically exclaimed: What is this thing that ye do? will ye rebel against the king? The irony lies in the fact that they did not give the Jews credit for power to build fortifications, so as to be able to rebel. Comp. Neh 6:6, where Sanballat, in an open letter to Nehemiah, again reproaches them with rebellion. Neh 2:20 Nehemiah replied with impressive gravity: "The God of heaven, He will prosper us, and we His servants will arise and build; but ye have no portion, nor right, nor memorial in Jerusalem." צדקה like Sa2 19:29. זכּרון, memorial; only members of the congregation, who may hope to live in their descendants in Jerusalem, can be said to have a memorial there.
افتح المصدر ↗How Nehemiah wrestled with God and prevailed we read in the foregoing chapter; now here we are told how, like Jacob, he prevailed with men also, and so found that his prayers were heard and answered. I. He prevailed with the king to send him to Jerusalem with a commission to build a wall about it, and grant him what was necessary for it (Neh 2:1-8). II. He prevailed against the enemies that would have obstructed him in his journey (Neh 2:9-11) and laughed him out of his undertaking (Neh 2:19, Neh 2:20). III. He prevailed upon his own people to join with him in this good work, viewing the desolations of the walls (Neh 2:12-16) and then gaining them to lend every one a hand towards the rebuilding of them (Neh 2:17, Neh 2:18). Thus did God own him in the work to which he called him.
افتح المصدر ↗2:19 Nehemiah’s enemies immediately scoffed and tried to stop progress. These opponents were dangerous because of their potential ability to discourage the people and undermine Nehemiah’s credibility. • Are you rebelling against the king? This serious charge could bring death (see also Ezra 4:6-23).

«قَدْ سُمِعَ بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ، وَجَشَمٌ يَقُولُ: إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ وَالْيَهُودُ تُفَكِّرُونَ أَنْ تَتَمَرَّدُوا، لِذلِكَ أَنْتَ تَبْنِي السُّورَ لِتَكُونَ لَهُمْ مَلِكًا حَسَبَ هذِهِ الأُمُورِ.
فَضَحِكُوا عَلَيْهِ. أَمَّا هُوَ فَأَخْرَجَ الْجَمِيعَ، وَأَخَذَ أَبَا الصَّبِيَّةِ وَأُمَّهَا وَالَّذِينَ مَعَهُ وَدَخَلَ حَيْثُ كَانَتِ الصَّبِيَّةُ مُضْطَجِعَةً،
جَعَلْتَنَا نِزَاعًا عِنْدَ جِيرَانِنَا، وَأَعْدَاؤُنَا يَسْتَهْزِئُونَ بَيْنَ أَنْفُسِهِمْ.
وَلَمَّا سَمِعَ سَنْبَلَّطُ الْحُورُونِيُّ وَطُوبِيَّا الْعَبْدُ الْعَمُّونِيُّ سَاءَهُمَا مَسَاءَةً عَظِيمَةً، لأَنَّهُ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ يَطْلُبُ خَيْرًا لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.
لأَنِّي كُلَّمَا تَكَلَّمْتُ صَرَخْتُ. نَادَيْتُ: «ظُلْمٌ وَاغْتِصَابٌ!» لأَنَّ كَلِمَةَ الرَّبِّ صَارَتْ لِي لِلْعَارِ وَلِلسُّخْرَةِ كُلَّ النَّهَارِ.
صِرْنَا عَارًا عِنْدَ جِيرَانِنَا، هُزْءًا وَسُخْرَةً لِلَّذِينَ حَوْلَنَا.
مِنْ هذَا الْوَقْتِ كَانَ بِيلاَطُسُ يَطْلُبُ أَنْ يُطْلِقَهُ، وَلكِنَّ الْيَهُودَ كَانُوا يَصْرُخُونَ قَائِلِينَ:«إِنْ أَطْلَقْتَ هذَا فَلَسْتَ مُحِبًّا لِقَيْصَرَ. كُلُّ مَنْ يَجْعَلُ نَفْسَهُ مَلِكًا يُقَاوِمُ قَيْصَرَ!».
لأَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا جَمِيعًا يُخِيفُونَنَا قَائِلِينَ: «قَدِ ارْتَخَتْ أَيْدِيهِمْ عَنِ الْعَمَلِ فَلاَ يُعْمَلُ». « فَالآنَ يَا إِلهِي شَدِّدْ يَدَيَّ».
«وَأَمَّا الآنَ فَقَدْ ضَحِكَ عَلَيَّ أَصَاغِرِي أَيَّامًا، الَّذِينَ كُنْتُ أَسْتَنْكِفُ مِنْ أَنْ أَجْعَلَ آبَاءَهُمْ مَعَ كِلاَبِ غَنَمِي.
وَآخَرُونَ تَجَرَّبُوا فِي هُزُءٍ وَجَلْدٍ، ثُمَّ فِي قُيُودٍ أَيْضًا وَحَبْسٍ.
