Introduction
Nehemyah (Nehemiah) was a servant of Persian King Artahshashta (Artaxerxes) in the city of Susa. While he was there, he heard an account from some Israelis who’d been allowed to return back to Yerushalem (Jerusalem) about how hard it was to live there. Yahweh’s temple had been rebuilt, however the city wall hadn’t been fixed yet, so their enemies who surrounded them were easily able to ambush and attack them.
Because of that, Nehemyah requested permission from the king to go personally to Yerushalem to supervise the rebuilding of the city walls.
In this document we read how God helped Nehemyah of organise the rebuild of the city wall in the middle of the opposition from their enemies around them.
