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).


     

From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]:
