  From  Easton's  1897  Bible  Dictionary  [easton]: 
 
  Tobiah 
  pleasing  to  Jehovah,  the  "servant,"  the  "Ammonite,"  who  joined 
  with  those  who  opposed  the  rebuilding  of  Jerusalem  after  the 
  Exile  (Neh.  2:10).  He  was  a  man  of  great  influence,  which  he 
  exerted  in  opposition  to  the  Jews,  and  "sent  letters"  to 
  Nehemiah  "to  put  him  in  fear"  (Neh.  6:17-19).  "Eliashib  the 
  priest"  prepared  for  him  during  Nehemiah's  absence  "a  chamber  in 
  the  courts  of  the  house  of  God,"  which  on  his  return  grieved 
  Nehemiah  sore,  and  therefore  he  "cast  forth  all  the  household 
  stuff  of  Tobiah  out  of  the  chamber"  (13:7,  8).
