James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Nehemiah 6:3

HARMFUL MEDDLERS AND HOW TO TREAT THEM‘And I sent messengers unto them, saying, I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down: why should the work cease, whilst I leave it, and come down to you?’ Nehemiah 6:3 Nehemiah’s work was not the building of the altar, not the completing of the Temple; his work was the building up of the walls of Jerusalem, building up the wall round about and setting up the gates again. I. Notice the solitude of Nehemiah.—It was in the absence of sympathy that... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Nehemiah 6:1-9

Judah’s Adversaries Learn That The Wall Is Completed Apart From The Gateways (Nehemiah 6:1 ). Nehemiah 6:1 ‘Now it came about, when it was reported to Sanballat and Tobiah, and to Geshem the Arabian, and to the rest of our enemies, that I had built the wall, and that there was no breach left in it, (though even to that time I had not set up the doors in the gates),’ The news reaches all the adversaries spoken of in Nehemiah 4:7 that the walls had been completed apart from the gateways, where... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Nehemiah 6:1-14

Continual Opposition To The Building Of The Wall And Problems Related To It (Nehemiah 4:1 to Nehemiah 6:14 ). Meanwhile the work did not go on unopposed. Powerful men were involved in seeking to ensure that the walls were not rebuilt, and that Jerusalem was not re-established. We have already had three of these described to us in Nehemiah 2:19. They were formidable opponents. We now learn about their activity in more detail. o Initially they operated by using ridicule and threats (Nehemiah... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Nehemiah 6:1-19

Nehemiah Outsmarts His Adversaries Until The Walls Are Completed (Nehemiah 6:1-19 ) Work on the walls had meanwhile being going on apace with the result that it was finally completed apart from the setting up of the huge doors in the gateways. It was a crucial time, for once the gates were completed and closed Jerusalem would be totally protected. As a consequence his adversaries now attempt new methods of discrediting him. Their focus has now turned from trying to discourage the people of... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Nehemiah 6:1-9

Nehemiah 6:1-1 Samuel : . Nehemiah’ s Enemies Make a further Attempt to Frustrate his Work.— The narrative about the rebuilding of the walls, which was broken by ch. 5, is here taken up again. Sanballat and his confederates seek to allure Nehemiah to a conference in order thus to get him into their power. Nehemiah refuses to go to this meeting on the ground that he is too busy with the work which he has in hand. Sanballat, having tried four times in vain to persuade Nehemiah to come, at... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Nehemiah 6:3

I am doing a great work: he tells them one, but not the only, nor the principal, reason of his refusal, because his coming might cause the work to cease, not only by the neglect of it during his absence, but by his death, which they by this means might compass, though he thought it not fit to express so much to them. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Nehemiah 6:1-19

EXPLANATORY NOTES.] “When Sanballat and the enemies associated with him were unable to obstruct the building of the wall of Jerusalem by open violence, they endeavoured to ruin Nehemiah by secret snares. They invited him to meet them in the plain of Ono (Nehemiah 6:1-2); but Nehemiah, perceiving that they intended mischief, would not come. After receiving for the fourth time this refusal, Sanballat sent his servant to Nehemiah with an open letter, in which he accused him of rebellion against... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Nehemiah 6:3-4

Nehemiah 6:3-4 Nehemiah's work was not the building of the altar, not the completing of the Temple; his work was the building up of the walls of Jerusalem, building up the wall round about and setting up the gates again. I. Notice the solitude of Nehemiah. It was in the absence of sympathy that he was first stirred. He had the burden of solitude, not only when he was away in Shushan, but also when he came to Jerusalem. If you would take part in the reformation, the rebuilding of the walls of... read more

DISCOURSE: 442NEHEMIAH’S FIRMNESSNehemiah 6:3-4. I sent messengers unto them, saying, I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down: why should the work cease, whilst I leave it, and come down to you? Yet they sent unto me four times after this sort; and I answered them after the same manner.NEVER can we be sufficiently thankful for the records which are given us respecting the saints of old. When we are put into arduous circumstances ourselves, and see the line of conduct which is... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Nehemiah 6:1-19

Chapter 6Now his enemies weren't yet through; they still continued to seek to hinder the work and discourage him. And so when Sanballat and Tobiah saw that the work was going on and the walls were getting up there, and there were just a few breaches left in the walls, that they sent a message to him saying, "Come on down into one of the cities, one of the villages, that we might talk with you, and that we might talk about détente and peaceful co-existence and all." And Nehemiah said, "I knew... read more
