| Nehemiah 6:18
| For there were many in Judea sworn to him, because he was the son-in-law of Sechenias, the son of Area, and Johanan, his son, had taken to wife the daughter of Mosollam, the son of Barachias.
| Mosollam, one of the builders, 2 Esdras 3:4. (Menochius) --- These two powerful men had consequently acted contrary to the laws of God, and the covenant of Esdras, with respect to marriages. They might fear the resentment of the zealous governor. Dangers from false brethren, (2 Corinthians 11:26.) wars without, and fears within, generally assail the servants of God. (Haydock)
