• How quickly we feel the need to defend ourselves. Rather, Nehemiah simply told Sanballat that they had invented these lies in their own hearts (Neh. 6:8). It should not be underestimated how dangerous this was for Nehemiah; he was being accused of rebellion. (“Personal Attacks on Nehemiah - Neh. 6:1-19” by N. Simon)
• His answer is simplicity itself, a plain denial in a few words of the truth of these alleged reports, while at the same time he traced them back to their true source—Sanballat's own wicked heart. (“Exposition on Nehemiah: Nehemiah 6” by E. Dennett)
