Event

The speaker gives the king’s letters to the governors beyond the River, and it grieves Sanballat and Tobiah exceedingly

말하는 이가 강 서편 총독들에게 왕의 조서를 전하고 산발랏과 도비야가 심히 근심함

Nehemiah 2:9–10: the speaker (“I”) comes to the governors beyond the River and gives them the king’s letters; the text says, “Now the king had sent captains of the army and horsemen with me.” When Sanballat the Horonite and Tobiah the Ammonite servant hear of it, it grieves them exceedingly, because a man had come to seek the welfare of the children of Israel. The Korean Revised Version tells first of the captains and horsemen (군대 장관과 마병을 보내어 나와 함께하게 하시기로), with an honorific verb and no subject that names the sender, and reads 종 되었던 암몬 사람 (the Ammonite who had been a servant) where WEB reads “the Ammonite servant”.
