• Despite the work of Ezra and the exercise of some among the people some 13 years earlier concerning mixed marriages, we find that Tobiah was son-in-law to Shechaniah and that his son Johanan had married the daughter of Meshullam. Meshullam had resisted Ezra (Ezra 10:15 JND), and it would now appear that he had never repented, even though he is listed among those who had put away their strange wives (Ezra 10:29). (“Personal Attacks on Nehemiah - Neh. 6:1-19” by N. Simon)
• They had therefore allied themselves with an Ammonite, upon whom the curse of God rested (chap. 13:1), in direct disobedience to the word of God (Deut. 7:3), whereby they also denied the truth of the special place they occupied as the people He had chosen for and separated unto Himself. (“Exposition on Nehemiah: Nehemiah 6” by E. Dennett)
