<< Nehemiah 4:1

Nehemiah 4:3 >>

Nehemiah 4:2

The army of Samaria - As he was governor, he had the command of the army, and he wished to excite the soldiers to second his views against Nehemiah and his men.

What do these feeble Jews ? - We may remark here, in general, that the enemies of God' s work endeavor by all means to discredit and destroy it, and those who are employed in it.

1.They despise the workmen: What do these feeble Jews?

2.They endeavor to turn all into ridicule: Will they fortify themselves?

3.They have recourse to lying: If a fox go up, he shall even break down their stone wall.

4.They sometimes use fair but deceitful speeches; see Nehemiah 6:2, etc.
