He is mentioned in the Book of Nehemiah as a persistent adversary to the Jewish efforts to restore their city after the Babylonian exile.<br><br><b>Historical Background</b><br><br>Sanballat was a Samaritan leader and is often identified as the governor of Samaria. His name is believed to be of Babylonian origin, meaning "Sin has given life," with Sin being a reference to the moon god. Sanballat's opposition to Nehemiah is set against the backdrop of the Persian Empire, which controlled the region during this period. The Samaritans, who had established themselves in the land during the Jewish exile, were often at odds with the returning Jewish exiles.<br><br><b>Biblical Account</b><br><br>Sanballat first appears in <a href="/nehemiah/2-10.htm">Nehemiah 2:10</a>, where he is described as being "deeply disturbed" by Nehemiah's arrival in Jerusalem to seek the welfare of the Israelites. His opposition is further detailed in <a href="/nehemiah/2-19.htm">Nehemiah 2:19</a>, where he, along with Tobiah the Ammonite and Geshem the Arab, mocks and ridicules the Jews, accusing them of rebelling against the king.<br><br>In <a href="/nehemiah/4.htm">Nehemiah 4:1-3</a>, Sanballat's hostility intensifies as he becomes furious and ridicules the Jews, questioning their ability to rebuild the wall. He is quoted as saying, "What are these feeble Jews doing? Will they restore it for themselves? Will they offer sacrifices? Will they finish in a day? Can they bring the stones back to life from the heaps of rubble—burned as they are?" (<a href="/nehemiah/4-2.htm">Nehemiah 4:2</a>).<br><br>Despite Sanballat's efforts to thwart the rebuilding, Nehemiah remains resolute, praying to God for strength and protection. Sanballat's attempts to intimidate and distract Nehemiah continue throughout the project. In <a href="/nehemiah/6.htm">Nehemiah 6:1-9</a>, Sanballat, along with his allies, attempts to lure Nehemiah into a meeting in the plain of Ono, intending to harm him. Nehemiah, discerning their intentions, refuses to be deterred from his work.<br><br>Sanballat's final recorded attempt to undermine Nehemiah is through the use of false prophets to intimidate him, as seen in <a href="/nehemiah/6-10.htm">Nehemiah 6:10-14</a>. Nehemiah, however, remains steadfast, relying on God for guidance and protection.<br><br><b>Significance</b><br><br>Sanballat's opposition to Nehemiah is emblematic of the broader conflict between the returning Jewish exiles and the established inhabitants of the land. His actions reflect the political and social tensions of the time, as well as the spiritual battle faced by the Israelites in re-establishing their identity and worship in Jerusalem.<br><br>Sanballat's account serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by God's people in fulfilling His purposes, highlighting the importance of faith, perseverance, and reliance on divine guidance in the face of opposition.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Sanballat</span><p>bramble-bush; enemy in secret<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Sanballat</span><p>(<i>strength</i>), a Moabite of Horonaim.

The only other incident in his life is his alliance with the high priest's family by the marriage of his daughter with one of the grandsons of Eliashib; but the expulsion from the priesthood of the guilty son of Joiada by Nehemiah promptly followed.

Sanaballat; Peshitta, Samballat): Sanballat the Horonite was, if the appellation which follows his name indicates his origin, a Moabite of Horonaim, a city of Moab mentioned in <a href="/isaiah/15-5.htm">Isaiah 15:5</a> <a href="/jeremiah/48-2.htm">Jeremiah 48:2, 5, 34</a>; Josephus, Ant, XIII, xxiii; XIV, ii. He is named along with Tobiah, the Ammonite slave (<a href="/nehemiah/4-1.htm">Nehemiah 4:1</a>), and Geshem the Arabian (<a href="/nehemiah/6-1.htm">Nehemiah 6:1</a>) as the leading opponent of the Jews at the time when Nehemiah undertook to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem (<a href="/nehemiah/2-10.htm">Nehemiah 2:10</a>; <a href="/nehemiah/4-1.htm">Nehemiah 4:1</a>; <a href="/nehemiah/6-1.htm">Nehemiah 6:1</a>). He was related by marriage to the son of Eliashib, the high priest at the time of the annulment of the mixed marriages forbidden by the Law (<a href="/nehemiah/13-28.htm">Nehemiah 13:28</a>).<br><br>Renewed interest has been awakened in Sanballat from the fact that he is mentioned in the papyri I and II of Sachau (Die aramaischen Papyrusurkunden aus Elephantine, Berlin, 1908, and in his later work, Aramaische Papyrus und Ostraka, Leipzig, 1911; compare Staerk's convenient edition in Lietzmanns Kleine Texte, Number 32, 1908) as having been the governor (pachath) of Samaria some time before the 17th year of Darius (Nothus), i.e. 408-407 B.C., when Bagohi was governor of Judah. His two sons, Delaiah and Shelemiah, received a letter from Jedoniah and his companions the priests who were in Yeb (Elephantine) in Upper Egypt. This letter contained information concerning the state of affairs in the Jewish colony of Yeb, especially concerning the destruction of the temple or synagogue (agora) which had been erected at that place.<br><br>The address of this letter reads as follows: "To our lord Bagohi, the governor of Judea, his servants Jedoniah and his companions, the priests in the fortress of Yeb (Elephantine). May the God of Heaven inquire much at every time after the peace of our lord and put thee in favor before Darius the king," etc. The conclusion of the letter reads thus: "Now, thy servants, Jedoniah and his companions and the Jews, all citizens of Yeb, say thus: If it seems good to our lord, mayest thou think on the rebuilding of that temple (the agora which had been destroyed by the Egyptians). Since it has not been permitted us to rebuild it, do thou look on the receivers of thy benefactions and favors here in Egypt. Let a letter with regard to the rebuilding of the temple of the God Jaho in the fortress of Yeb, as it was formerly built, be sent from thee. In thy name will they offer the meal offerings, the incense, and the burnt offerings upon the altar of the God Jaho; and we shall always pray for thee, we and our wives and our children and all the Jews found here, until the temple has been rebuilt. And it will be to thee a meritorious work (tsedhaqah) in the sight of Jaho, the God of Heaven, greater than the meritorious work of a man who offers to him a burnt offering and a sacrifice of a value equal to the value of 1,000 talents of silver. And as to the gold (probably that which was sent by the Jews to Bagohi as a baksheesh) we have sent word and given knowledge. Also, we have in our name communicated in a letter all (these) matters unto Delaiah and Shelemiah, the sons of Sanballat, governor of Samaria. Also, from all that has been done to us, Arsham (the satrap of Egypt) has learned nothing.<br><br>The 20th of Marcheshvan in the 17th year of Darius the king." Sanballat is the Babylonian Sin-uballit, "may Sin give him life," a name occurring a number of times in the contract tablets from the time of Nebuchadnezzar, Nabonidus, and Darius Hystaspis.
