📚 Contexto Histórico
In the 5th century BC, Nehemiah, a Jewish exile serving as cupbearer to the Persian King Artaxerxes, received permission to return to Jerusalem and rebuild its broken walls, which had lain in ruins since the Babylonian destruction decades earlier. This initiative threatened the power of neighboring leaders like Sanballat from Horon, Tobiah from Ammon, and Geshem from Arabia, who opposed any strengthening of Jewish autonomy. Their mockery and accusations of rebellion were aimed at undermining Nehemiah's efforts and maintaining their regional influence.
