GSB:

6:17 Moreover in those days the nobles of Judah sent many {k} letters unto Tobiah, and [the letters] of Tobiah came unto them.
(k) Thus the Church of God always has enemies within itself, which is more dangerous than outward and professed enemies.

MHC:

6:15-19 The wall was begun and finished in fifty-two days, though they rested on the sabbaths. A great deal of work may be done in a little time, if we set about it in earnest, and keep close to it. See the mischief of marrying with strangers. When men once became akin to Tobiah, they soon became sworn to him. A sinful love leads to a sinful league. The enemy of souls employs many instruments, and forms many projects, to bring reproach on the active servants of God, or to take them from their work. But we should follow the example of Him who laid down his life for the sheep. Those that simply cleave to the Lord and his work will be supported.
