Please do note though... that Sanballat was in league with Tobiah.
Nehemiah was indeed a builder and also a voice which was harsh in Jerusalem.
One of the strongest moves Nehemiah made was in chasing out Tobiah (Sanballats good bud). Tobiah was big buds with the priests and the priests had emptied the tithing storehouse, taken over the distribution of the tithe from the Levites and had housed Tobiah ( an ammonite who, by the law of God, was not to be allowed in the congregation much less shacked up in the storehouse) where the tithes should have been kept.
The relationship with Nehemiah and such outsiders as Tobiah & Sanballat has more to do with Nehemiahs actual chastising of the priesthood for their departure from the laws of God.
You might want to rethink using that example.
