When Nehemiah delivered the King's letters to the governors beyond the River, Sanballat and Tobia were displeased because
Answer Details
The reason why Sanballat and Tobiah were displeased when Nehemiah delivered the King's letters to the governors beyond the River was because someone had come to seek the welfare of the children of Israel. Sanballat and Tobiah were enemies of the Israelites and did not want anyone to come and help them. They were afraid that if the Israelites were strengthened, they would become a threat to their own power and influence in the region. Therefore, they were opposed to Nehemiah's mission and tried to hinder his efforts to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem.
