Nehemiah2:19
19 But when Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah the servant the Ammonite, and Geshem the Arabian i heard it, they laughed us to scorn, and despised us, and said, What is this thing that ye do? Will ye rebel against the king ?
Do you design to fortify this City against the King?
k Either the Kings Lieutenant in Arabia, as Tobiah was among the Ammonites, and Sanballat among the Moabites: Or rather an Arabian by his birth. And it seems probable that both he, and Sanballat, and Tobiah were chief men or Governours among the Samaritans, or in their Army. See ch. 4. 1, 2, 3.
