Rashi, on Neh 6:9

“For all these men thought to frighten us, thinking that our hands would cease from the work, and that we would leave off. Wherefore I strengthened my hands the more:”

“For they all for all the nations. fear us Heb. מְיָרְאִים. They fear us, and so they say, “Let their hands be slackened, etc.” and now, strengthen my hands to help me with the building of the wall.”
