And in the eleventh ^H6249 ^H6240 year ^H8141 of Zedekiah, ^H6667 in the fourth ^H7243 month, ^H2320 the ninth ^H8672 day of the month, ^H2320 the city ^H5892 was broken up. ^H1234 And all the princes ^H8269 of the king ^H4428 of Babylon ^H894 came in, ^H935 and sat ^H3427 in the middle ^H8432 gate, ^H8179 even Nergalsharezer, ^H5371 Samgarnebo, ^H5562 Sarsechim, ^H8310 Rabsaris, ^H7249 Nergalsharezer, ^H5371 Rabmag, ^H7248 with all the residue ^H7611 of the princes ^H8269 of the king ^H4428 of Babylon. ^H894 And it came to pass, that when Zedekiah ^H6667 the king ^H4428 of Judah ^H3063 saw ^H7200 them, and all the men ^H582 of war, ^H4421 then they fled, ^H1272 and went forth ^H3318 out of the city ^H5892 by night, ^H3915 by the way ^H1870 of the king's ^H4428 garden, ^H1588 by the gate ^H8179 betwixt the two walls: ^H2346 and he went out ^H3318 the way ^H1870 of the plain. ^H6160 But the Chaldeans' ^H3778 army ^H2428 pursued ^H7291 after ^H310 them, and overtook ^H5381 Zedekiah ^H6667 in the plains ^H6160 of Jericho: ^H3405 and when they had taken ^H3947 him, they brought him up ^H5927 to Nebuchadnezzar ^H5019 king ^H4428 of Babylon ^H894 to Riblah ^H7247 in the land ^H776 of Hamath, ^H2574 where he gave ^H1696 judgment ^H4941 upon him. Then the king ^H4428 of Babylon ^H894 slew ^H7819 the sons ^H1121 of Zedekiah ^H6667 in Riblah ^H7247 before his eyes: ^H5869 also the king ^H4428 of Babylon ^H894 slew ^H7819 all the nobles ^H2715 of Judah. ^H3063 Moreover he put out ^H5786 Zedekiah's ^H6667 eyes, ^H5869 and bound ^H631 him with chains, ^H5178 to carry ^H935 him to Babylon. ^H894 And the Chaldeans ^H3778 burned ^H8313 the king's ^H4428 house, ^H1004 and the houses ^H1004 of the people, ^H5971 with fire, ^H784 and brake down ^H5422 the walls ^H2346 of Jerusalem. ^H3389 Then Nebuzaradan ^H5018 the captain ^H7227 of the guard ^H2876 carried away captive ^H1540 into Babylon ^H894 the remnant ^H3499 of the people ^H5971 that remained ^H7604 in the city, ^H5892 and those that fell away, ^H5307 that fell ^H5307 to him, with the rest ^H3499 of the people ^H5971 that remained. ^H7604 But Nebuzaradan ^H5018 the captain ^H7227 of the guard ^H2876 left ^H7604 of the poor ^H1800 of the people, ^H5971 which had nothing, ^H3972 in the land ^H776 of Judah, ^H3063 and gave ^H5414 them vineyards ^H3754 and fields ^H3010 at the same time. ^H3117 Now Nebuchadrezzar ^H5019 king ^H4428 of Babylon ^H894 gave charge ^H6680 concerning Jeremiah ^H3414 to ^H3027 Nebuzaradan ^H5018 the captain ^H7227 of the guard, ^H2876 saying, ^H559 Take ^H3947 him, and look well ^H5869 ^H7760 to him, and do ^H6213 him no harm; ^H3972 ^H7451 but do ^H6213 unto him even as he shall say ^H1696 unto thee. So Nebuzaradan ^H5018 the captain ^H7227 of the guard ^H2876 sent, ^H7971 and Nebushasban, ^H5021 Rabsaris, ^H7249 and Nergalsharezer, ^H5371 Rabmag, ^H7248 and all the king ^H4428 of Babylon's ^H894 princes; ^H7227 Even they sent, ^H7971 and took ^H3947 Jeremiah ^H3414 out of the court ^H2691 of the prison, ^H4307 and committed ^H5414 him unto Gedaliah ^H1436 the son ^H1121 of Ahikam ^H296 the son ^H1121 of Shaphan, ^H8227 that he should carry ^H3318 him home: ^H1004 so he dwelt ^H3427 among ^H8432 the people. ^H5971 Now the word ^H1697 of the LORD ^H3068 came unto Jeremiah, ^H3414 while he was shut up ^H6113 in the court ^H2691 of the prison, ^H4307 saying, ^H559 Go ^H1980 and speak ^H559 to Ebedmelech ^H5663 the Ethiopian, ^H3569 saying, ^H559 Thus saith ^H559 the LORD ^H3068 of hosts, ^H6635 the God ^H430 of Israel; ^H3478 Behold, I will bring ^H935 my words ^H1697 upon this city ^H5892 for evil, ^H7451 and not for good; ^H2896 and they shall be accomplished in that day ^H3117 before ^H6440 thee. But I will deliver ^H5337 thee in that day, ^H3117 saith ^H5002 the LORD: ^H3068 and thou shalt not be given ^H5414 into the hand ^H3027 of the men ^H582 of whom ^H6440 thou art afraid. ^H3016 For I will surely ^H4422 deliver ^H4422 thee, and thou shalt not fall ^H5307 by the sword, ^H2719 but thy life ^H5315 shall be for a prey ^H7998 unto thee: because thou hast put thy trust ^H982 in me, saith ^H5002 the LORD. ^H3068

Zedekiah ^H6667 was one ^H259 and twenty ^H6242 years ^H8141 old ^H1121 when he began to reign, ^H4427 and he reigned ^H4427 eleven ^H259 ^H6240 years ^H8141 in Jerusalem. ^H3389 And his mother's ^H517 name ^H8034 was Hamutal ^H2537 the daughter ^H1323 of Jeremiah ^H3414 of Libnah. ^H3841 And he did ^H6213 that which was evil ^H7451 in the eyes ^H5869 of the LORD, ^H3068 according to all that Jehoiakim ^H3079 had done. ^H6213 For through ^H5921 the anger ^H639 of the LORD ^H3068 it came to pass in Jerusalem ^H3389 and Judah, ^H3063 till he had cast them out ^H7993 from his presence, ^H6440 that Zedekiah ^H6667 rebelled ^H4775 against the king ^H4428 of Babylon. ^H894 And it came to pass in the ninth ^H8671 year ^H8141 of his reign, ^H4427 in the tenth ^H6224 month, ^H2320 in the tenth ^H6218 day of the month, ^H2320 that Nebuchadrezzar ^H5019 king ^H4428 of Babylon ^H894 came, ^H935 he and all his army, ^H2428 against Jerusalem, ^H3389 and pitched ^H2583 against it, and built ^H1129 forts ^H1785 against it round about. ^H5439 So ^H935 the city ^H5892 was besieged ^H4692 unto the eleventh ^H6249 ^H6240 year ^H8141 of king ^H4428 Zedekiah. ^H6667 And in the fourth ^H7243 month, ^H2320 in the ninth ^H8672 day of the month, ^H2320 the famine ^H7458 was sore ^H2388 in the city, ^H5892 so that there was no bread ^H3899 for the people ^H5971 of the land. ^H776 Then the city ^H5892 was broken up, ^H1234 and all the men ^H582 of war ^H4421 fled, ^H1272 and went forth ^H3318 out of the city ^H5892 by night ^H3915 by the way ^H1870 of the gate ^H8179 between the two walls, ^H2346 which was by the king's ^H4428 garden; ^H1588 (now the Chaldeans ^H3778 were by the city ^H5892 round about:) ^H5439 and they went ^H3212 by the way ^H1870 of the plain. ^H6160 But the army ^H2428 of the Chaldeans ^H3778 pursued ^H7291 after ^H310 the king, ^H4428 and overtook ^H5381 Zedekiah ^H6667 in the plains ^H6160 of Jericho; ^H3405 and all his army ^H2428 was scattered ^H6327 from him. Then they took ^H8610 the king, ^H4428 and carried him up ^H5927 unto the king ^H4428 of Babylon ^H894 to Riblah ^H7247 in the land ^H776 of Hamath; ^H2574 where he gave ^H1696 judgment ^H4941 upon him. And the king ^H4428 of Babylon ^H894 slew ^H7819 the sons ^H1121 of Zedekiah ^H6667 before his eyes: ^H5869 he slew ^H7819 also all the princes ^H8269 of Judah ^H3063 in Riblah. ^H7247 Then he put out ^H5786 the eyes ^H5869 of Zedekiah; ^H6667 and the king ^H4428 of Babylon ^H894 bound ^H631 him in chains, ^H5178 and carried ^H935 him to Babylon, ^H894 and put ^H5414 him in prison ^H1004 ^H6486 till the day ^H3117 of his death. ^H4194 Now in the fifth ^H2549 month, ^H2320 in the tenth ^H6218 day of the month, ^H2320 which was the nineteenth ^H8672 ^H6240 ^H8141 year ^H8141 of Nebuchadrezzar ^H5019 king ^H4428 of Babylon, ^H894 came ^H935 Nebuzaradan, ^H5018 captain ^H7227 of the guard, ^H2876 which served ^H5975 ^H6440 the king ^H4428 of Babylon, ^H894 into Jerusalem, ^H3389 And burned ^H8313 the house ^H1004 of the LORD, ^H3068 and the king's ^H4428 house; ^H1004 and all the houses ^H1004 of Jerusalem, ^H3389 and all the houses ^H1004 of the great ^H1419 men, burned ^H8313 he with fire: ^H784 And all the army ^H2428 of the Chaldeans, ^H3778 that were with the captain ^H7227 of the guard, ^H2876 brake down ^H5422 all the walls ^H2346 of Jerusalem ^H3389 round about. ^H5439 Then Nebuzaradan ^H5018 the captain ^H7227 of the guard ^H2876 carried away captive ^H1540 certain of the poor ^H1803 of the people, ^H5971 and the residue ^H3499 of the people ^H5971 that remained ^H7604 in the city, ^H5892 and those that fell away, ^H5307 that fell ^H5307 to the king ^H4428 of Babylon, ^H894 and the rest ^H3499 of the multitude. ^H527 But Nebuzaradan ^H5018 the captain ^H7227 of the guard ^H2876 left ^H7604 certain of the poor ^H1803 of the land ^H776 for vinedressers ^H3755 and for husbandmen. ^H3009 Also the pillars ^H5982 of brass ^H5178 that were in the house ^H1004 of the LORD, ^H3068 and the bases, ^H4350 and the brasen ^H5178 sea ^H3220 that was in the house ^H1004 of the LORD, ^H3068 the Chaldeans ^H3778 brake, ^H7665 and carried ^H5375 all the brass ^H5178 of them to Babylon. ^H894 The caldrons ^H5518 also, and the shovels, ^H3257 and the snuffers, ^H4212 and the bowls, ^H4219 and the spoons, ^H3709 and all the vessels ^H3627 of brass ^H5178 wherewith they ministered, ^H8334 took they away. ^H3947 And the basons, ^H5592 and the firepans, ^H4289 and the bowls, ^H4219 and the caldrons, ^H5518 and the candlesticks, ^H4501 and the spoons, ^H3709 and the cups; ^H4518 that which was of gold ^H2091 in gold, ^H2091 and that which was of silver ^H3701 in silver, ^H3701 took ^H3947 the captain ^H7227 of the guard ^H2876 away. ^H3947 The two ^H8147 pillars, ^H5982 one ^H259 sea, ^H3220 and twelve ^H8147 ^H6240 brasen ^H5178 bulls ^H1241 that were under the bases, ^H4350 which king ^H4428 Solomon ^H8010 had made ^H6213 in the house ^H1004 of the LORD: ^H3068 the brass ^H5178 of all these vessels ^H3627 was without weight. ^H4948 And concerning the pillars, ^H5982 the height ^H6967 of one ^H259 pillar ^H5982 was eighteen ^H8083 ^H6240 cubits; ^H520 and a fillet ^H2339 of twelve ^H8147 ^H6240 cubits ^H520 did compass ^H5437 it; and the thickness ^H5672 thereof was four ^H702 fingers: ^H676 it was hollow. ^H5014 And a chapiter ^H3805 of brass ^H5178 was upon it; and the height ^H6967 of one ^H259 chapiter ^H3805 was five ^H2568 cubits, ^H520 with network ^H7639 and pomegranates ^H7416 upon the chapiters ^H3805 round about, ^H5439 all of brass. ^H5178 The second ^H8145 pillar ^H5982 also and the pomegranates ^H7416 were like unto these. And there were ninety ^H8673 and six ^H8337 pomegranates ^H7416 on a side; ^H7307 and all the pomegranates ^H7416 upon the network ^H7639 were an hundred ^H3967 round about. ^H5439 And the captain ^H7227 of the guard ^H2876 took ^H3947 Seraiah ^H8304 the chief ^H7218 priest, ^H3548 and Zephaniah ^H6846 the second ^H4932 priest, ^H3548 and the three ^H7969 keepers ^H8104 of the door: ^H5592 He took ^H3947 also out of the city ^H5892 an ^H259 eunuch, ^H5631 which had the charge ^H6496 of the men ^H582 of war; ^H4421 and seven ^H7651 men ^H582 of them that were near ^H7200 the king's ^H4428 person, ^H6440 which were found ^H4672 in the city; ^H5892 and the principal ^H8269 scribe ^H5608 of the host, ^H6635 who mustered ^H6633 the people ^H5971 of the land; ^H776 and threescore ^H8346 men ^H376 of the people ^H5971 of the land, ^H776 that were found ^H4672 in the midst ^H8432 of the city. ^H5892 So Nebuzaradan ^H5018 the captain ^H7227 of the guard ^H2876 took ^H3947 them, and brought ^H3212 them to the king ^H4428 of Babylon ^H894 to Riblah. ^H7247 And the king ^H4428 of Babylon ^H894 smote ^H5221 them, and put them to death ^H4191 in Riblah ^H7247 in the land ^H127 of Hamath. ^H2574 Thus Judah ^H3063 was carried away captive ^H1540 out of his own land. ^H776 This is the people ^H5971 whom Nebuchadrezzar ^H5019 carried away captive: ^H1540 in the seventh ^H7651 year ^H8141 three ^H7969 thousand ^H505 Jews ^H3064 and three ^H7969 and twenty: ^H6242 In the eighteenth ^H8083 ^H6240 year ^H8141 of Nebuchadrezzar ^H5019 he carried away captive ^H1540 from Jerusalem ^H3389 eight ^H8083 hundred ^H3967 thirty ^H7970 and two ^H8147 persons: ^H5315 In the three ^H7969 and twentieth ^H6242 year ^H8141 of Nebuchadrezzar ^H5019 Nebuzaradan ^H5018 the captain ^H7227 of the guard ^H2876 carried away captive ^H1540 of the Jews ^H3064 seven ^H7651 hundred ^H3967 forty ^H705 and five ^H2568 persons: ^H5315 all the persons ^H5315 were four ^H702 thousand ^H505 and six ^H8337 hundred. ^H3967 And it came to pass in the seven ^H7651 and thirtieth ^H7970 year ^H8141 of the captivity ^H1546 of Jehoiachin ^H3078 king ^H4428 of Judah, ^H3063 in the twelfth ^H8147 ^H6240 month, ^H2320 in the five ^H2568 and twentieth ^H6242 day of the month, ^H2320 that Evilmerodach ^H192 king ^H4428 of Babylon ^H894 in the first year ^H8141 of his reign ^H4438 lifted up ^H5375 the head ^H7218 of Jehoiachin ^H3078 king ^H4428 of Judah, ^H3063 and brought him forth ^H3318 out of prison, ^H1004 ^H3628 And spake ^H1696 kindly ^H2896 unto him, and set ^H5414 his throne ^H3678 above ^H4605 the throne ^H3678 of the kings ^H4428 that were with him in Babylon, ^H894 And changed ^H8138 his prison ^H3608 garments: ^H899 and he did continually ^H8548 eat ^H398 bread ^H3899 before ^H6440 him all the days ^H3117 of his life. ^H2416 And for his diet, ^H737 there was a continual ^H8548 diet ^H737 given ^H5414 him of the king ^H4428 of Babylon, ^H894 every ^H3117 day ^H3117 a portion ^H1697 until the day ^H3117 of his death, ^H4194 all the days ^H3117 of his life. ^H2416

Commentary on Nehemiah 7 Matthew Henry Commentary

John Gill Keil & Delitzsch Robert Jamieson: Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Chapter 7

The success of one good design for God and our generation should encourage us to proceed and form some other; Nehemiah did so, having fortified Jerusalem with gates and walls, his next care is,

I. To see the city well kept (v. 1-4).
II. To see it well peopled, in order to which he here reviews and calls over the register of the children of the captivity, the families that returned at first, and records it (v. 5-73). It is the same, in effect, with that which we had, Ezra 2. What use he made of it we shall find afterwards, when he brought one of ten to live in Jerusalem, ch. 11:1.

Neh 7:1-4

God saith concerning his church (Isa. 62:6), I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem! This is Nehemiah's care here; for dead walls, without living watchmen, are but a poor defence to a city.

I. He appointed the porters, singers, and Levites, in their places to their work. This is meant of their work in general, which was to attend the temple service; it had been neglected in some degree, but now was revived. God's worship is the defence of a place, and his ministers, when they mind their duty, are watchmen on the walls. Or, in particular, he ordered them to be ready against the wall was to be dedicated, that they might perform that service in an orderly and solemn manner; and the dedication of it was its strength. That is likely to be beneficial to us which is devoted to God.
II. He appointed two governors or consuls, to whom he committed the care of the city, and gave them in charge to provide for the public peace and safety. Hanani, his brother, who came to him with the tidings of the desolations of Jerusalem, was one, a man of approved integrity and affection to his country; the other was Hananiah, who had been ruler of the palace: for he that has approved himself faithful in less shall be entrusted with more. Of this Hananiah it is said that he was a faithful man and one that feared God above many, v. 2. Note,
- 1. Among those who fear God truly there are some who fear him greatly, and excel others in the expressions and instances of that fear; and they are worthy a double portion of that honour which is due to those that fear the Lord, Ps. 15:4. There were many in Jerusalem that feared God, but this good man was more eminent for religion and serious godliness than any.
- 2. Those that fear God must evidence it by their being faithful to all men and universally conscientious.
- 3. 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. It is supposed, by some, that Nehemiah was now about to return to the Persian court to have his commission renewed, and that he left these two worthy men in charge with the affairs of the city in his absence. Good governors, when and where they cannot act themselves, must be very careful whom they depute.
III. He gave orders about the shutting of the gates and the guarding of the walls, v. 3, 4. See here,
- 1. What the present state of Jerusalem was. The city, in compass, was large and great. The walls enclosed the same ground as formerly; but much of it lay waste, for the houses were not built, few at least in comparison with what had been; so that Nehemiah walled the city in faith, and with an eye to that promise of the replenishing of it which God had lately made by the prophet, Zec. 8:3, etc. Though the people were now few, he believed they would be multiplied, and therefore built the walls so as to make room for them; had he not depended upon this he might have thought walls without a city as great a reproach as a city without walls.
- 2. What was the care of Nehemiah for it. He ordered the rulers of the city themselves,
  - (1.) To stand by, and see the city-gates shut up and barred every night; for in vain had they a wall if they were careless of their gates.
  - (2.) To take care that they should not be opened in the morning till they could see that all was clear and quiet.
  - (3.) To set sentinels upon the walls, or elsewhere, at convenient distances, who should, in case of the approach of the enemy, give timely notice to the city of the danger; and, as it came to their turn to watch, they must post themselves over against their own houses, because of them, it might be presumed, they would be in a particular manner careful. The public safety depends upon every one's particular care to guard himself and his own family against sin, that common enemy. It is every one's interest to watch, but many understand not their own interest; it is therefore incumbent upon magistrates to appoint watches. And as this people had lately found God with them in their building (else they would have built in vain), so now that the wall was built, no doubt, they were made sensible that except the Lord kept the city the watchman waked but in vain, Ps. 127:1.

Neh 7:5-73

We have here another good project of Nehemiah's; for wise and zealous men will be always contriving something or other for the glory of God and the edification of his church. He knew very well that the safety of a city, under God, depends more upon the number and valour of the inhabitants than upon the height or strength of its walls; and therefore, observing that the people were few that dwelt in it, he thought fit to take an account of the people, that he might find what families had formerly had their settlement in Jerusalem, but were now removed into the country, that he might bring them back, and what families could in any other way be influenced by their religion, or by their business, to come and rebuild the houses in Jerusalem and dwell in them. So little reason have we to wish that we may be placed alone in the earth, or in Jerusalem itself, that much of our safety and comfort depends upon our neighbours and friends; the more the stronger, the more the merrier. It is the wisdom of the governors of a nation to keep the balance even between the city and country, that the metropolis be not so extravagantly large as to drain and impoverish the country, nor yet so weak as not to be able to protect it. Now observe,

I. Whence this good design of Nehemiah's came. He owns, My God put it into my heart, v. 5. Note, Whatever good motion is in our minds, either prudent or pious, we must acknowledge it to come from God. It was he that put it into our hearts; for every good gift and every good work are from above. He gives knowledge; he gives grace; all is of him, and therefore all must be to him. What is done by human prudence must be ascribed to the direction of divine Providence; he that teaches the husbandman his discretion (Isa. 28:26) teaches the statesman his.
II. What method he took in prosecution of it.
- 1. He called the rulers together, and the people, that he might have an account of the present state of their families-their number and strength, and where they were settled. It is probable that when he summoned them to come together he ordered them to bring such an account along with them out of their several districts. And I doubt they were not so many but that it might be soon done.
- 2. He reviewed the old register of the genealogy of those who came up at the first, and compared the present accounts with that; and here we have the repetition of that out of Ezra 2. The title is the same here (v. 6, 7) as there (v. 1, 2): These are the children of the province, etc. 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. The repetition of these accounts may intimate to us the delight which the great God is pleased to take in the persons, families, and services of his spiritual Israel, and the particular notice he takes of them. He knows those that are his, knows them all, knows them by name, has his eye on the register of those children of the captivity, and does all according to the ancient counsel of his will concerning them.
  - (1.) Here is an account of the heads of the several families that first came up, v. 6-69. As to this,
    - [1.] Though it seem of little use to us now, yet then it was of great use, to compare what they had been with what they now were. We may suppose they were much increased by this time; but it would do well for them to remember their small beginnings, that they might acknowledge God in multiplying their families and building them up. By this means likewise their genealogies would be preserved, and the distinction of their families kept up, till the Messiah should come, and then an end be put to all their genealogies, which were preserved for his sake, but afterwards were endless. But,
    - [2.] There are many differences in the numbers between this catalogue and that in Ezra. Most of them indeed are exactly the same, and some others within a very few under or over (one or two perhaps); and therefore I cannot think, as some do, that that was the number of these families at their first coming and this as they were now, which was at least forty years after (some make it much more); for we cannot suppose so many families to be not at all, or but little, altered in their numbers in all that time; therefore what differences there are we may suppose to arise either from the mistakes of transcribers, which easily happen in numbers, or from the diversity of the copies from which they were taken. Or perhaps one was the account of them when they set out from Babylon with Zerubbabel, the other when they came to Jerusalem. The sum totals are all just the same there and here, except of the singing-men and singing-women, which there are 200, here 245. These were not of such importance as that they should keep any strict account of them.
  - (2.) Here is an account of the offerings which were given towards the work of God, v. 70, etc. This differs much from that in Ezra 2:68, 69, and it may be questioned whether it refers to the same contribution; here the tirshatha, or chief governor, who there was not mentioned, begins the offering; and the single sum mentioned there exceeds all those here put together; yet it is probable that it was the same, but that followed one copy of the lists, this another; for the last verse is the same here that it was Ezra 2:70, adding ch. 3:1. Blessed be God that our faith and hope are not built upon the niceties of names and numbers, genealogy and chronology, but on the great things of the law and gospel. Whatever is given to the work of God, he is not unrighteous to forget it; nor shall even a cup of cold water, wherewith he is honoured, go without its reward.
