Nehemiah 2:10 - Scofield Reference Notes

Bible Comments

Tobiah

Two Tobiahs are distinguished by many:

(1) "Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite," (Nehemiah 2:10); (Nehemiah 2:19); Heh 4:3,7 6:1,12,14.

(2) A Jew, unable to prove his genealogy. But the reference to the latter (Nehemiah 7:62) indicates that he was already dead. But one Tobiah, and he the Ammonite, is active in this book.

Nehemiah 2:10

10 When Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite, heard of it, it grieved them exceedingly that there was come a man to seek the welfare of the children of Israel.
