F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Nehemiah 2:12-20

Braving Ridicule and Treachery Nehemiah 2:12-20 ; Nehemiah 4:1-12 Suspicion , Nehemiah 2:12-20 . Sanballat was probably a Moabite, a native of Horonaim; Tobiah had been a slave. There are many descendants of these two men in all our Christian communities today, hindering God’s work. This heroic soul met their scorn and the depression of the people by unwavering faith and calm confidence in the good hand of God, Nehemiah 2:18 . How small do our difficulties seem when brought into the sight... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Nehemiah 2:1-20

Nehemiah's sadness could not wholly be hidden. He had not been habitually a sad man, as he himself declares; but the sorrow of his nation manifested itself as he stood before the king. It has been suggested that this was part of his plan. Such an interpretation strains the narrative, for Nehemiah confessed that when the king detected signs of mourning he was fled with fear. Yet through fear a splendid courage manifested itself as he told the king the cause of his grief, and boldly asked to be... read more

Rebuilding the Wall Nehemiah 2:1-20 INTRODUCTORY WORDS As we study the Book of Nehemiah we learn the truth of that old saying, "God moves in a mysterious way, His wonders to perform." This was true in the matter of rebuilding the wall. Let us suggest seven steps that lead to the work. 1. Hanani's report. This we considered previously. It was because of the word of Hanani that Nehemiah was so deeply moved concerning the wall, and the state of his brethren in Jerusalem. Thus we see God's first... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Nehemiah 2:11-18

Nehemiah Secretly Inspects The Walls Of Jerusalem And The Decision Is Made To Rebuild Them (Nehemiah 2:11-18 ). Having arrived safely in Jerusalem Nehemiah rested, prior to a secret surveillance of the condition of the walls. His men would have to be quartered, although that might have been in a camp outside the city. Meanwhile he and his officers no doubt had to endure a ceremonious welcome. A high Persian official would always be welcomed with due ceremony, especially when accompanied by a... read more

Nehemiah 2:9-Proverbs : . Nehemiah Arrives in Jerusalem and Surveys the Walls. Nehemiah 2:9 . The account of the journey is omitted, interest being centred upon what Nehemiah was going to do in Jerusalem.— the governors beyond the river: namely of the provinces on the west of the Euphrates; as Nehemiah would almost certainly pass through Hamath and Damascus, the two most important cities in Syria, the governors here resident are probably intended.— the king . . . horsemen: cf.

Chapter 2"You've never been sad in my presence before, what's wrong with you?" And so Nehemiah opened up his heart. Actually, the king had asked him a question and the king discerned. He said, "It's obviously a sorrow of heart. What's wrong?" And so Nehemiah answered:Let the king live for ever ( Nehemiah 2:3 ):And he told the king of the plight of his countrymen. Those that had gone back and of the news that he had received, and the heaviness of his heart because of the condition of Jerusalem,... read more
