Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Nehemiah 2:10

_ _ Sanballat the Horonite — Horonaim being a town in Moab, this person, it is probable, was a Moabite.

_ _ Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite — The term used indicates him to have been a freed slave, elevated to some official dignity. These were district magistrates under the government of the satrap of Syria; and they seem to have been leaders of the Samaritan faction.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Nehemiah 2:9-20.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Nehemiah 2:10

Horonite — So called either, from the place of his birth or rule, which is supposed to be Horonaim, an eminent city of Moab. The servant — So called probably from the condition from which he was advanced to his present power and dignity: which also may be mentioned as one reason why he now carried himself so insolently, it being usual for persons suddenly raised from a low state, so to demean themselves.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Nehemiah 2:10

When (e) Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite, heard [of it], it grieved them exceedingly that there was come a man to seek the welfare of the children of Israel.

(e) These were great enemies to the Jews, and laboured always both by force and subtilty to overcome them and Tobiah, because his wife was a Jewess, knew of their affairs and so brought them great trouble.
