尼希米记 6:2 CUVS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Nehemiah 6:1-9

Two plots upon Nehemiah we have here an account of, how cunningly they were laid by his enemies and how happily frustrated by God's good providence and his prudence. I. A plot to trepan him into a snare. The enemies had an account of the good forwardness the work was in, that all the breaches of the wall were made up, so that they considered it as good as done, though at that time the doors of the gates were off the hinges (Neh. 6:1); they must therefore now or never, by one bold stroke, take... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Nehemiah 6:2

Then Sanballat and Geshem sent unto me ,.... Messengers: saying, come, let us meet together in some one of the villages ; in Cephirim, which Jarchi takes to be the name of a place, perhaps the same with Cephirah, a city in the tribe of Benjamin, Joshua 18:26 in the plain of Ono ; which was in the same tribe, see 1 Chronicles 8:12 , they might pretend a friendly meeting, to accommodate differences between them, or to converse together about the general interest of the king of... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Nehemiah 6:2

Come , let us meet together in - the plain of Ono - They wished to get him out of Jerusalem from among his friends, that they might either carry him off, or murder him. Ono is supposed to have been in the tribe of Benjamin, near Jordan. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Nehemiah 6:1-9

Craft detected and baffled. The enemies without make cunning proposals in vain. I. THE OCCASION OF THEIR INTERFERENCE . They heard that the wall was completed, though the gates were not yet set up; and, thinking that further open opposition would be useless, adopted craft. II. THE MANNER OF THEIR INTERFERENCE . 1. They repeatedly proposed a conference. Pretending probably that they wished to come to a good understanding with Nehemiah, but really intending to... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Nehemiah 6:1-9

The Christian workman. Nehemiah was an instance, and will ever be the type, of a faithful workman in the cause of God; from his conduct and career we may learn— I. HOW VALUABLE ONE WORKMAN MAY PROVE (verses 1, 2). Sin sometimes pays an unconscious tribute to integrity and worth. It acts on the assumption that righteousness is more than equal to its energy, and that, to gain its evil end, it must have recourse to "poisoned weapons." Thus, e.g; Philip of Spain, striving... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Nehemiah 6:1-14

God with us. The true safety of God's people in the midst of the world's opposition. Nehemiah represents the spirit of consecration, zeal, single-mindedness, dependence upon God, personal responsibility, and confidence in final issues, which should be the spirit of all God's people, and especially of those who hold prominent places in the Church. I. THE FACT OF OPPOSITION . 1. It is a constant fact. The form may change, but the substance is the same. Sleepless vigilance... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Nehemiah 6:1-16

The temptations of earnest moral life and service. I. THE WAY IN WHICH THE ACHIEVEMENTS OF EARNEST MORAL LIFE AND SERVICE ARE MADE KNOWN TO WICKED MEN . "Now it came to pass, when Sanballat, and Tobiah, and Geshem the Arabian, and the rest of our enemies, heard that I had builded the wall, and that there was no breach left therein" ( Nehemiah 6:1 ). Christian life and service will make themselves known— 1. Naturally. The finished walls must be... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Nehemiah 6:2

In some one of the villages . The Hebrew has "in the villages," which seems too vague. Bertheau therefore suggests, "in Hakkiphirim," taking the word as the name of a particular village, which is probably right. Ono was near Lydda, in the plain country bordering on Philistia . They thought to do me mischief. A euphemism for "they thought to murder me." read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Nehemiah 6:2

The choice made of Ono, on the skirts of Benjamin, 25 or 30 miles from Jerusalem, as the meeting-place, was, no doubt, in order to draw Nehemiah to a distance from his supporters, that so an attack might be made on him with a better chance of success. read more
