느헤미야 11:22-24 KRV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Nehemiah 11:20-36

Having given an account of the principal persons that dwelt in Jerusalem (a larger account of whom he had before, 1 Chron. 9:2-34), Nehemiah, in these verses, gives us some account of the other cities, in which dwelt the residue of Israel, Neh. 11:20. It was requisite that Jerusalem should be replenished, yet not so as to drain the country. The king himself is served of the field, which will do little service if there be not hands to manage it. Let there therefore be no strife, no envy, no... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Nehemiah 11:22

The overseer also of the Levites at Jerusalem was Uzzi, the son of Bani ,.... He was the supervisor of them, that looked after them that they did their work in ministering to the priests, as they had occasion for them; this man's genealogy is further traced through Hashabiah and Mattaniah, to Micha the son of Asaph, Nehemiah 11:17 , of the sons of Asaph, the singers were over the business of the house of God ; which, according to Jarchi, was to take care of the repairs of the temple... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Nehemiah 11:23

For it was the king's commandment concerning them ,.... Either of King David as some, see Nehemiah 12:24 or rather of the king of Persia: that a certain portion should be for the singers, due for every day ; he settled a daily salary for them, to be paid out of his treasury; having perhaps a peculiar respect for such sort of men, being a lover of music, by means of which they had a settled habitation in Jerusalem. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Nehemiah 11:24

And Pethahiah the son of Meshezabeel, of the children of Zerah, the son of Judah ,.... The twin brother of Pharez, Genesis 38:30 was at the king's hand in all matters concerning the people ; to speak for them to the king, as Jarchi; when they had a favour to ask of him, a petition to present to him, he delivered it for them, and by him the king returned the answer. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Nehemiah 11:23

It was the king ' s commandment - By the king some understand David, and others Artaxerxes. It is most probable that it was the latter; who wished that a provision should be made for these, a part of whose office was to offer up prayers also, as well as praises. For we know that Darius made an ample provision for the priests, that they might offer sacrifices of sweet savor unto the God of heaven; and pray for the life of the king and of his sons, Ezra 6:10 . Some have thought... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Nehemiah 11:1-36

Town and country. Variety in unity. Nehemiah had been some time before (see Nehemiah 7:4 , Nehemiah 7:5 ) impressed with the necessity of increasing the population of Jerusalem, and had taken preliminary steps; but other more pressing matters had intervened. He now proceeded with his design. His purpose was, that of the whole population one-tenth should inhabit the metropolis, and he arranged that the additional families to dwell there should be determined by lot. First, however,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Nehemiah 11:1-36

The true centralisation. We separate the nation from the world not to surround it with a false patriotism which means self-interest, but that in the fulfilment of the Divine purpose and law we may be the greater blessing to mankind. I. The true centre of the life of the community is THE RELIGIOUS CENTRE . Jerusalem as the sacred city. The secular and religious are not opposed. The man of God is the true man. There is no true strength and prosperity where there is an inversion of... read more
