Verse 9 is found in chapter 2 of Nehemiah. Nehemiah arrives in Jerusalem with the king’s escort and delivers the letters to the governors. Sanballat and Tobiah become concerned when they learn that someone has come to seek the welfare of the Israelites. Imperial authorization does not eliminate local opposition, but it provides Nehemiah with support for his mission.
