Scripture Authority - Nehemiah
chapters 8, 4 and 6.
Nehemiah, the Mantle was the son of
Hachaliah, and apparently of the tribe Of
Judah, since his fathers were buried at
Jerusalem, and Hanani, his kinsman,
e4G.s to have been OF that tribe Q:2; 2:S;
TO. All that we know certainly concern
ing this eminent man is contained in the
book which bears his name. His auto
biography first finds him at Shushan, the
winter residence os the kings of Persia,
in high office as cupbearer of King Arta-
xerXes Longimanus. In the twentieth
year of the kings reign. B. c. AS, certain
Jews, one of whom was near kinsman
of Nehemiah, arrived from Judea, and
gave Nehemiah deplorable account of
the state of Jerusalem and of the resi-
dents in Judea. He Immediately con-
ceived the idea of going to Jerusalem,
and having obtained the consent of the
king, he made the journey thither. Re
alizing that the one thing needful was
the restoration of the walls of Jerusalem,
he set to work with great en-
ergy so that the work was completed
in So days. He reformed the civil and
religious condition of the people, enforced
economy and justice, restored the tenn
pie services, and re-enacted the Mosaic
covenant. Nehemiah himself returned to
his post in the Persian court, after ms
sojourn in Judea.
