Commentary on Nehemiah 9:26

Theological / Devotional

Cast thy law. See Ezekiel 23:35.

Slew thy prophets. Compare Matthew 23:37 and Luke 11:47. Zechariah, the son of Jehoiada, was put to death by Joash (2 Chronicles 24:22), and many prophets were slain by Jezebel (1 Kings 18:4). Jewish tradition claims that Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel were murdered by fellow Jews, and others may have suffered a like fate.
