Commentary on Nehemiah 13:26

Theological / Devotional

Did not Solomon? The example was more likely than any other to move the Jews. What the author of 1 Kings 11:3 had euphemistically referred to as turning aside of the heart, Nehemiah bluntly and openly call “sins.”

No king like him. Compare 1 Kings 3:12, 13; 2 Chron. 1:12.

Beloved of his God. An allusion to 2 Sam. 12:24.

God made him king. See 1 Kings 4:1.
