Horonite identifies Sanballat, one of the chief opponents of Nehemiah's project to rebuild Jerusalem's walls, probably from Horonaim in Moab or one of the two towns called Beth-horon. Sanballat's role as governor of Samaria is independently confirmed by the Elephantine papyri, a cache of Jewish letters from Egypt that name him, lending solid historical grounding to Nehemiah's account.
