13:28 Literally, “I drove him away from me.” This probably means he was exiled. To have married a daughter of Sanballat, one of Nehemiah's most significant enemies, must have been a great insult to Nehemiah.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-background

וּ⁠מִ⁠בְּנֵ֨י

and,of,sons

In this context, the conjunction And indicates that this sentence will provide background information that is necessary for understanding the next event the book will describe. You could express the same meaning with a word that indicates this in your language.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וּ⁠מִ⁠בְּנֵ֨י

and,of,sons

This means one of the sons of.

Note 3 topic: translate-names

יוֹיָדָ֤ע בֶּן־אֶלְיָשִׁיב֙

Yəhōyādāˊ/(Jehoiada) son_of Eliashib

Joiada is the name of a man, and Eliashib is the name of his father.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / distinguish

אֶלְיָשִׁיב֙ הַ⁠כֹּהֵ֣ן הַ⁠גָּד֔וֹל

Eliashib the=priest/officer the,high

Here Nehemiah repeats some background information to remind readers who Eliashib was. Alternate translation: “Eliashib, who was the high priest”

חָתָ֖ן

son-in-law

Alternate translation: “had married the daughter of”

Note 5 topic: translate-names

לְ⁠סַנְבַלַּ֣ט הַ⁠חֹרֹנִ֑י

of,Sanballat the,Horonite

Sanballat is the name of a man, and Horonite is the name of his people group. See how you translated these words in 2:10.

Note 6 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

וָ⁠אַבְרִיחֵ֖⁠הוּ

and,drove_~_away,him

In this context, the conjunction And indicates that the sentence it introduces explains the results of what the previous sentence described. Alternate translation: “as a result” or “because he had done this”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

וָ⁠אַבְרִיחֵ֖⁠הוּ מֵ⁠עָלָֽ⁠י

and,drove_~_away,him from,with,me

Him means this son of Joiada. Nehemiah means not just that he made this man leave his personal presence, but that he forced him to at least leave Jerusalem, and perhaps to stay out of the entire province of Judah. Nehemiah is using the space around himself to represent all Jerusalem and Judah. Alternate translation: “I forced him to leave Jerusalem” or “I forced him to leave the province of Judah”

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וָ⁠אַבְרִיחֵ֖⁠הוּ מֵ⁠עָלָֽ⁠י

and,drove_~_away,him from,with,me

The implication is that this son of Joiada was serving as a priest himself (as his lineage entitled him to do), and so he was a high-profile case of flaunting the command in the law against marrying foreign women. Nehemiah needed to make an example of him. A further consideration may have been that Sanballat was an enemy to Nehemiah and the Jews, and this man was one of the people who was sending letters to Sanballat with information about Nehemiah, as 6:17 indicates. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could express one of these possibilites explicitly. Alternate translation: “I forced him to leave Jerusalem because as a priest, he was setting a bad public example by being married to a foreign woman” or “I forced him to leave Jerusalem because he was helping our enemy Sanballat”
