← Nehemiah 6:17	Nehemiah 6:18 (KJV)	Nehemiah 6:19 →
Moreover in those days the nobles of Judah sent many letters unto Tobiah, and [the letters] of Tobiah came unto them.	For [there were] many in Judah sworn unto him, because he [was] the son in law of Shechaniah the son of Arah; and his son Johanan had taken the daughter of Meshullam the son of Berechiah.	Also they reported his good deeds before me, and uttered my words to him. [And] Tobiah sent letters to put me in fear.
