Nehemiah Journeys to Jerusalem with the King's Permission, and Furnished with Royal Letters. He Makes a Survey of the Walls, and Resolves to Undertake the Work of Building Them - Nehemiah 2 Three months after receiving the tidings concerning Jerusalem, Nehemiah perceived a favourable opportunity of making request to the king for leave to undertake a journey to the city of his fathers for the purpose of building it, and obtained the permission he entreated, together with letters to the governors on this side the Euphrates to permit him to pass through their provinces, and to the keeper of the royal forests to supply wood for building the walls and gates, and an escort of captains of the army and horsemen for his protection (Neh 2:1-9), to the great vexation of Sanballat the Horonite and Tobiah the Ammonite (Neh 2:10). In the third night after his arrival at Jerusalem, Nehemiah rode round the city to survey the walls, and incited the rulers of the people and the priests to undertake the work of rebuilding them (Neh 2:11-18). Sanballat and other enemies of the Jews expressed their contempt thereat, but Nehemiah encountered their ridicule with serious words (Neh 2:19, Neh 2:20).
افتح المصدر ↗How Nehemiah wrestled with God and prevailed we read in the foregoing chapter; now here we are told how, like Jacob, he prevailed with men also, and so found that his prayers were heard and answered. I. He prevailed with the king to send him to Jerusalem with a commission to build a wall about it, and grant him what was necessary for it (Neh 2:1-8). II. He prevailed against the enemies that would have obstructed him in his journey (Neh 2:9-11) and laughed him out of his undertaking (Neh 2:19, Neh 2:20). III. He prevailed upon his own people to join with him in this good work, viewing the desolations of the walls (Neh 2:12-16) and then gaining them to lend every one a hand towards the rebuilding of them (Neh 2:17, Neh 2:18). Thus did God own him in the work to which he called him.
افتح المصدر ↗2:3 Nehemiah affirmed his loyalty with the customary long live the king (cp. Dan 2:4), yet he did not deny his sadness.

فَقَالُوا لِي: «إِنَّ الْبَاقِينَ الَّذِينَ بَقُوا مِنَ السَّبْيِ هُنَاكَ فِي الْبِلاَدِ، هُمْ فِي شَرّ عَظِيمٍ وَعَارٍ. وَسُورُ أُورُشَلِيمَ مُنْهَدِمٌ، وَأَبْوَابُهَا مَحْرُوقَةٌ بِالنَّارِ».
فَخَرَّتْ بَثْشَبَعُ عَلَى وَجْهِهَا إِلَى الأَرْضِ وَسَجَدَتْ لِلْمَلِكِ وَقَالَتْ: «لِيَحْيَ سَيِّدِي الْمَلِكُ دَاوُدُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ».
فَكَلَّمَ الْكَلْدَانِيُّونَ الْمَلِكَ بِالأَرَامِيَّةِ: «عِشْ أَيُّهَا الْمَلِكُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ. أَخْبِرْ عَبِيدَكَ بِالْحُلْمِ فَنُبَيِّنَ تَعْبِيرَهُ».
لِيَلْتَصِقْ لِسَانِي بِحَنَكِي إِنْ لَمْ أَذْكُرْكِ، إِنْ لَمْ أُفَضِّلْ أُورُشَلِيمَ عَلَى أَعْظَمِ فَرَحِي!
أَمَّا الْمَلِكَةُ فَلِسَبَبِ كَلاَمِ الْمَلِكِ وَعُظَمَائِهِ دَخَلَتْ بَيْتَ الْوَلِيمَةِ، فَأَجَابَتِ الْمَلِكَةُ وَقَالَتْ: «أَيُّهَا الْمَلِكُ، عِشْ إِلَى الأَبَدِ! لاَ تُفَزِّعْكَ أَفْكَارُكَ وَلاَ تَتَغَيَّرُ هَيْئَتُكَ.
ثُمَّ اضْطَجَعَ حَزَقِيَّا مَعَ آبَائِهِ فَدَفَنُوهُ فِي عَقَبَةِ قُبُورِ بَنِي دَاوُدَ، وَعَمِلَ لَهُ إِكْرَامًا عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ كُلُّ يَهُوذَا وَسُكَّانِ أُورُشَلِيمَ. وَمَلَكَ مَنَسَّى ابْنُهُ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ.
كَانَ ابْنَ اثْنَتَيْنِ وَثَلاَثِينَ سَنَةً حِينَ مَلَكَ، وَمَلَكَ ثَمَانِيَ سِنِينَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَذَهَبَ غَيْرَ مَأْسُوفٍ عَلَيْهِ، وَدَفَنُوهُ فِي مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ، وَلكِنْ لَيْسَ فِي قُبُورِ الْمُلُوكِ.
ثُمَّ اضْطَجَعَ آحَازُ مَعَ آبَائِهِ فَدَفَنُوهُ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، لأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَأْتُوا بِهِ إِلَى قُبُورِ مُلُوكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. وَمَلَكَ حَزَقِيَّا ابْنُهُ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ.
حِينَئِذٍ اجْتَمَعَ هؤُلاَءِ الْوُزَرَاءُ وَالْمَرَازِبَةُ عِنْدَ الْمَلِكِ وَقَالُوا لَهُ هكَذَا: «أَيُّهَا الْمَلِكُ دَارِيُوسُ، عِشْ إِلَى الأَبَدِ!
تَاخَتْ فِي الأَرْضِ أَبْوَابُهَا. أَهْلَكَ وَحَطَّمَ عَوَارِضَهَا. مَلِكُهَا وَرُؤَسَاؤُهَا بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ. لاَ شَرِيعَةَ. أَنْبِيَاؤُهَا أَيْضًا لاَ يَجِدُونَ رُؤْيَا مِنْ قِبَلِ الرَّبِّ.
