Context — Discouragement Overcome
9So we prayed to our God and posted a guard against them day and night.
10Meanwhile, the people of Judah said: “The strength of the laborer fails, and there is so much rubble that we will never be able to rebuild the wall.”
11And our enemies said, “Before they know or see a thing, we will come into their midst, kill them, and put an end to the work.”
12At that time the Jews who lived nearby came and told us ten times over, “Wherever you turn, they will attack us.” 13So I stationed men behind the lowest sections of the wall, at the vulnerable areas. I stationed them by families with their swords, spears, and bows.Cross References

The Benjamites came out against them and were drawn away from the city. They began to attack the people as before, killing about thirty men of Israel in the fields and on the roads, one of which led up to Bethel and the other to Gibeah. “We are defeating them as before,” said the Benjamites. But the Israelites said, “Let us retreat and draw them away from the city onto the roads.” So all the men of Israel got up from their places and arrayed themselves at Baal-tamar, and the Israelites in ambush charged from their positions west of Gibeah. Then 10,000 select men from all Israel made a frontal assault against Gibeah, and the battle was fierce. But the Benjamites did not realize that disaster was upon them. The LORD defeated Benjamin in the presence of Israel, and on that day the Israelites slaughtered 25,100 Benjamites, all armed with swords. Then the Benjamites realized they had been defeated. Now the men of Israel had retreated before Benjamin because they were relying on the ambush they had set against Gibeah. The men in ambush rushed suddenly against Gibeah; they advanced and put the whole city to the sword. The men of Israel had arranged a signal with the men in ambush: When they sent up a great cloud of smoke from the city, the men of Israel would turn in the battle. When the Benjamites had begun to strike them down, killing about thirty men of Israel, they said, “They are defeated before us as in the first battle.” But when the column of smoke began to go up from the city, the Benjamites looked behind them and saw the whole city going up in smoke. Then the men of Israel turned back on them, and the men of Benjamin were terrified when they realized that disaster had come upon them. So they fled before the men of Israel toward the wilderness, but the battle overtook them, and the men coming out of the cities struck them down there. They surrounded the Benjamites, pursued them, and easily overtook them in the vicinity of Gibeah on the east. And 18,000 Benjamites fell, all men of valor. Then the Benjamites turned and fled toward the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon, and Israel cut down 5,000 men on the roads. And they overtook them at Gidom and struck down 2,000 more.

Nehemiah 4:11 Summary
In Nehemiah 4:11, we see that the enemies of Judah were planning to attack them by surprise and stop the work of rebuilding the wall. This verse reminds us that our spiritual enemies, like Satan, often seek to destroy us when we are most vulnerable, as seen in 1 Peter 5:8. However, we can trust in God's protection and provision, just like the people of Judah did, and remember that He is our rock and our refuge, as in Psalm 18:2. By prioritizing prayer and seeking God's guidance, we can overcome any challenge and achieve great things for His glory, as in Philippians 4:13.
Frequently Asked Questions
What was the plan of the enemies of Judah according to Nehemiah 4:11?
The enemies of Judah planned to attack them by surprise, kill them, and put an end to the work of rebuilding the wall, as stated in Nehemiah 4:11, a tactic that is also seen in other biblical accounts such as Esther 3:6 and Psalm 83:4.
How did the enemies of Judah think they could succeed in their plan?

What can we learn from the response of the enemies of Judah in this verse?
We can learn that our enemies, whether physical or spiritual, often seek to destroy us when we are most vulnerable, as seen in 1 Peter 5:8, and that we must always be on guard and trust in God's protection, as in Psalm 121:1-2.
How does this verse relate to the broader context of Nehemiah's story?
This verse is part of the larger narrative of Nehemiah's efforts to rebuild the wall of Jerusalem, and it highlights the opposition and challenges he faced, as seen in Nehemiah 4:1-23, and demonstrates the importance of perseverance and faith in the face of adversity, as in Romans 8:28 and James 1:2-4.
Reflection Questions
- What are some ways that I may be facing surprise attacks from my spiritual enemies, and how can I prepare myself for them?
- How can I, like the people of Judah, trust in God's protection and provision even when faced with seemingly insurmountable challenges, as in Matthew 6:25-34?
- What are some areas in my life where I may be vulnerable to attack, and what steps can I take to strengthen myself and my faith, as in Ephesians 6:10-18?
- How can I, like Nehemiah, prioritize prayer and seek God's guidance and protection in the face of opposition, as in Psalm 119:145-152?
Gill's Exposition on Nehemiah 4:11
And our adversaries said, they shall not know,.... Our designs upon them: neither see; or perceive what we are about to do: till we come in the midst of them; with an army suddenly, at an unawares,
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Nehemiah 4:11
And conspired all of them together to come and to fight against Jerusalem, and to hinder it. No JFB commentary on these verses.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Nehemiah 4:11
We will come secretly and unexpectedly upon them so as they shall neither foresee their danger, nor be able to prevent it.
Trapp's Commentary on Nehemiah 4:11
Nehemiah 4:11 And our adversaries said, They shall not know, neither see, till we come in the midst among them, and slay them, and cause the work to cease.Ver. 11. And our adversaries said] But their plot was some way discovered, and so prevented. Detexit facinus fatuus et non implevit, saith Tacitus of one in his time. So the gunpowder traitors betrayed themselves; and all came to light, though they had dug as low as hell to hide their counsels from the Lord. They shall not know, neither see] But what shall he do who is omniscient and ολοφθαλμος, all-eye? whose providence is like a well drawn picture that vieweth all that comes into a room. Till we come in the midst among them] Either in the night undiscerned; or by day, but unarmed, and not as enemies: for the Florentine secretary, though not yet (nor of many ages later) born into the world; yet the good of this world was as great a master then as afterwards. And slay them, and cause the work to cease] The craft of the Church’ s adversaries is never but accompanied with cruelty; and their cruelty is seldom without craft. The devil lends them his seven heads to plot, and his ten horns to push; but in the thing wherein they deal proudly, God is above these cruel crafties.
Ellicott's Commentary on Nehemiah 4:11
(11) They shall not know.—As to the adversaries, their plan was evidently to watch and surprise, instead of making the threatened attack.
Cambridge Bible on Nehemiah 4:11
11. our adversaries said] ‘adversaries,’ cf. Ezra 4:1. After mentioning the source of weakness within the walls, Nehemiah describes the danger from without. ‘Said.’ He gives, as if in their own words, their secret project of a surprise attack upon Jerusalem, either reporting the information brought by spies or describing by imagination what the intentions of the enemy were. in the midst among them] R.V. Into the midst of them.
Whedon's Commentary on Nehemiah 4:11
11. They shall not know — They plotted a secret assault, aiming to surprise the Jews in the midst of their work.
