 Tobiah
    pleasing to Jehovah, the "servant," the "Ammonite," who joined
    with those who opposed the rebuilding of Jerusalem after the
    Exile (Neh. 2:10). He was a man of great influence, which he
    exerted in opposition to the Jews, and "sent letters" to
    Nehemiah "to put him in fear" (Neh. 6:17-19). "Eliashib the
    priest" prepared for him during Nehemiah's absence "a chamber in
    the courts of the house of God," which on his return grieved
    Nehemiah sore, and therefore he "cast forth all the household
    stuff of Tobiah out of the chamber" (13:7, 8).
