Nehemiah 2:18-20
The Voice
18 I told them how my True God had used His power to favor me, evidenced by what the king had said to me.
Jews: Get up now! It is time to rebuild.
And so they began the good work. 19 Our adversaries lost no time, either. Joining Samaritan Governor Sanballat (the Horonite) and Official Tobiah (the Ammonite) was an Arab named Geshem. When they heard of our plans, they mocked and ridiculed us.
Sanballat, Tobiah, and Geshem: What do you think you are doing? Are you not rebelling against the king again?
Nehemiah: 20 The True God of heaven will give us success. We are His people, servants who will begin the work of rebuilding our city and this wall. But you have no share in this work because Jerusalem is not yours—civically, legally, or religiously.
