Sanballat

Held some place of authority in Samaria when Nehemiah went up to Jerusalem to rebuild its ruined walls. He vainly attempted to "hinder this work (Neh. 2:10, 19; 4:1-12; 6). His daughter became" "the wife of one of the sons of Joiada, a son of the high priest," much to the grief of Nehemiah (13:28).
