Gill's Notes on the Bible
Now it came to pass, when Sanballat and Tobiah, and Geshem the Arabian, and the rest of our enemies, heard that I had builded the wall,.... Quite finished it:
and that there was no breach left therein; but all was made up firm and strong:
though at that time I had not set up the doors upon the gates; not upon all of them, though some might by the particular builders of them; and they all of them might be ready made, though not as yet put upon the hinges.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Upon the gates - Rather, “in the gates.” This work would naturally be delayed until the last phase.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER VI
Sanballat, Tobiah, and Geshem, insidiously desire a conference
with Nehemiah, which he refuses, 1-4.
They then charge him with the design of rebelling, and causing
himself to be made king, 5-7;
which he denies, and prays to God for support, 8, 9.
A false prophet is hired by Tobiah and Sanballat, to put him in
fear; he discovers the imposture, and defeats their design,
10-13.
He prays to God against them, 14.
The wall is finished in fifty-two days, 15.
He discovers a secret and treasonable correspondence between
Tobiah and some of the Jewish nobles, 16-19.
