Rashi, on Neh 6:18

“For there were many in Judea sworn to him, because he was the son in law of Sechenias the son of Area, and Johanan his son had taken to wife the daughter of Mosollam the son of Barachias.”

“For many in Judea Heb. רַבִּים, who were great rulers in Judea, were partners in a covenant and an oath with him. for he was the son-in-law Tobiah [was the son-in-law] of Shechaniah. and Jehohanan his son [the son] of Tobiah. the daughter of Meshullam Meshullam was a great man and a ruler.”
