  From  Easton's  1897  Bible  Dictionary  [easton]: 
 
  Sanballat 
  held  some  place  of  authority  in  Samaria  when  Nehemiah  went  up  to 
  Jerusalem  to  rebuild  its  ruined  walls.  He  vainly  attempted  to 
  hinder  this  work  (Neh.  2:10,  19;  4:1-12;  6).  His  daughter  became 
  the  wife  of  one  of  the  sons  of  Joiada,  a  son  of  the  high  priest, 
  much  to  the  grief  of  Nehemiah  (13:28).
