STEPBible TIPNR
Noadiah was a false prophetess who lived during the time of Nehemiah, when the walls of Jerusalem were being rebuilt (Neh 6:14). She, along with other false prophets, tried to intimidate and discourage Nehemiah from his work. These prophets had been hired by Tobiah and Sanballat, enemies of Nehemiah, to hinder the rebuilding efforts. Nehemiah, however, recognized their deceit and prayed for strength to continue his work despite their opposition.
Noadiah 2 Dictionary
Easton's Bible Dictionary (1897)
A false prophetess who assisted Tobiah and Sanballat against the Jews (Neh. 6:14). Being bribed by them, she tried to stir up discontent among the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and so to embarrass Nehemiah in his great work of rebuilding the ruined walls of the city.
