Adam Clarke, on Neh 6:7
Adam Clarke · 1762–1832
Neh 6:7 · Douay-Rheims
“Thou hast also set up prophets, to preach of thee at Jerusalem, saying: There is a king in Judea. The king will hear of these things: therefore come now, that we may take counsel together.”
On this verse:
“Thou hast also appointed prophets - Persons who pretend to be commissioned to preach to the people, and say, Nehemiah reigneth! Come now therefore, and let us take counsel - Come and justify yourself before me. This was a trick to get Nehemiah into his power.”
