Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

): These are the children of the province, &c. Two things are here repeated and recorded a second time from thence--the names and numbers of their several families, and their oblations to the service of the temple.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Those that fear God must evidence it by their being faithful to all men and universally conscientious. God's Jerusalem is then likely to flourish when those rule in it, and have charge of it, who excel in virtue, and are eminent both for godliness and honesty.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

I gave my brother Hanani . . . charge over Jerusalem--If, as is commonly supposed, Nehemiah was now contemplating a return to Shushan according to his promise, it was natural that he should wish to entrust the custody of Jerusalem and the management of its civic affairs to men on whose ability, experience, and fidelity, he could confide.
