Jerusalem's wall completed in fifty-two days
The wall was finished on the twenty-fifth of Elul after fifty-two days. Judah's enemies lost confidence because they recognized that the work had been accomplished by God, though Tobiah's influence still reached into the community (Nehemiah 6:15-19).

📖 Nehemiah 6:15–17
15So the wall was completed in fifty-two days, on the twenty-fifth of Elul. 16When all our enemies heard about this, all the surrounding nations were afraid and disheartened, for they realized that this task had been accomplished by our God. 17Also in those days, the nobles of Judah sent many letters to Tobiah, and Tobiah’s letters came back to them.
