Nehemiah 7:62

The children of Delaiah, the children of Tobiah, the children of Nekoda, six hundred forty and two.

The reckoning of the descendants of Delaiah, Tobiah, and Nekoda at six hundred forty-two belongs to the account of the restoration of the Jews. That return and reestablishment provides the historical setting for the enrollment. The Tobiah associated with this setting stood among the leaders who bitterly opposed the work carried forward under Nehemiah.
