Commentary on Nehemiah 2:9

Theological / Devotional

I came to the governors. Of his journey to Jerusalem Nehemiah reports only that he paid visits to the various governors through whose territories he traveled, especially in the satrapy “Beyond the River.” In doing so he encountered the enemies of the Jews, who thenceforth were to be his deadly enemies. Being in possession of royal letters of authority, and accompanied by an escort of Persian soldiers, he experienced neither difficulty nor danger by the way.
