Sanballat, Tobiah, and Geshem ridicule, and the speaker answers them
산발랏과 도비야와 게셈이 비웃고 말하는 이가 대답함
Nehemiah 2:19–20: when Sanballat the Horonite, Tobiah the Ammonite servant, and Geshem the Arabian hear it, the text says, “they ridiculed us and despised us, and said, ‘What is this thing that you are doing? Will you rebel against the king?’” The speaker (“I”) answers them, “The God of heaven will prosper us. Therefore we, his servants, will arise and build; but you have no portion, nor right, nor memorial in Jerusalem.” The Korean Revised Version reads 종이 되었던 암몬 사람 (the Ammonite who had been a servant) where WEB reads “the Ammonite servant”, and tells of the despising before the ridicule (업신여기고 비웃어).
