Summary "The Bible, King James version, Book 16: Nehemiah" by Anonymous is a historical account written during the early centuries AD, likely during the time of the Second Temple period in Jewish history. This book is part of the Old Testament in the Christian Bible and follows the narrative of Nehemiah, a leader who plays a crucial role in the rebuilding of Jerusalem. Its primary topic revolves around Nehemiah’s efforts to restore the city’s walls following the Babylonian exile and his commitment to God and the Jewish people. In the book, Nehemiah serves as the cupbearer to the Persian king Artaxerxes. Upon hearing about the dire situation of Jerusalem, he is moved to action and seeks permission from the king to return to his homeland to spearhead the rebuilding effort. The narrative unfolds with Nehemiah rallying the Jewish people to rebuild the city's walls amid opposition from surrounding adversaries. The text details how Nehemiah encourages the people, organizes their work, and addresses internal conflicts within the community. Following the completion of the wall, the book emphasizes themes of faith, communal responsibility, the observance of the Law, and social justice, culminating in a reaffirmation of the covenant between God and the people of Israel.
