Nehemiah 4:17-18Every one with one of his hands wrought in the work, and with the other hand held a weapon, The work and warfare of lifeLife is work, and life is warfare; and these are ever commingled.Our text is but an epitome and sample of that larger and longer work which fills the broad area of all human history.I.

Nehemiah 4:19-20The work is great . . . and we are separated upon the wall.The common work of the MasterIn time of war you visit the camp. There is flying from the flagpole in the sun the stars and stripes. You look upon the men in their scattered avocations. A few men are playing, a few men are cleaning their guns, a few men are cooking, here and there a sentry is pacing back and forth, some men are lying on the grass asleep, there is no common life, there seems to be no common purpose, there... read more

Nehemiah 4:20So we laboured in the work.PerseveranceThe builders not only began well, but they persevered to the end of their work. Perseverance is s great element of success. It was George Stephenson’s motto, “Persevere”; and the celebrated mathematician, Arago, tells us that his master in mathematics gave a word of advice which he found in the binding of one of his text-books. Puzzled and discouraged by the difficulties he met with in his early studies, he was almost ready to give up the... read more

Nehemiah 4:23None of us put off our clothes, saving that every one put them off for washing.The necessary and the unnecessarySome people waste all their energy in putting off and on their clothes: their whole life is a question of clothes; they cannot do anything until their clothes are right. Nehemiah showed how he distinguished between the necessary and the unnecessary. We must attend to health if we are to attend to successful toil. Time is not wasted that is spent in obeying the laws of... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Nehemiah 4:16

Neh 4:16 And it came to pass from that time forth, [that] the half of my servants wrought in the work, and the other half of them held both the spears, the shields, and the bows, and the habergeons; and the rulers [were] behind all the house of Judah. Ver. 16. And it came to pass from that time forth ] As it is told of that peerless Queen Elizabeth, that in times of greatest peace she ever made preparation for war; so did this incomparable Nehemiah; still fearing some new practice, and not... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Nehemiah 4:17

Neh 4:17 They which builded on the wall, and they that bare burdens, with those that laded, [every one] with one of his hands wrought in the work, and with the other [hand] held a weapon. Ver. 17. They which builded on the wall ] The master masons, and they that bare burdens, Bajuli, labourers and porters, who bear upon their shoulders as much as they can stand under, yet go singing oft under their burdens: the reason whereof Alexander Aphrodisaeus saith is this, that their minds being... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Nehemiah 4:18

Neh 4:18 For the builders, every one had his sword girded by his side, and [so] builded. And he that sounded the trumpet [was] by me. Ver. 18. For the builders every one had his sword girded by his side ] Heb. on his loins; that is the place for the sword to hang on: Psalms 45:3 , "Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O most mighty." And Revelation 19:16 , Christ’s name is written upon his vesture, that all may see it, and upon his thigh, where his sword hangs, to show that he won it by his valour.... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Nehemiah 4:19

Neh 4:19 And I said unto the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, The work [is] great and large, and we are separated upon the wall, one far from another. Ver. 19. And I said unto the nobles, &c. ] Nehemiah, the more a man observeth him the more he shall admire him. Surely he was (as Velleius saith of Cato Major) homo virtuti simillimus, a man as like virtue as might be; he was (as Pliny saith of the same Cato) optimus Orator, optimus Imperator, optimus Senator,... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Nehemiah 4:20

Neh 4:20 In what place [therefore] ye hear the sound of the trumpet, resort ye thither unto us: our God shall fight for us. Ver. 20. In what place therefore ye hear the sound of the trumpet ] Which, therefore, for the purpose he kept at his own elbow, Nehemiah 4:18 , as a matter of trust and importance. Moses committed the blowing of the trumpets unto the sons of Aaron only, Numbers 10:8 . "For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?" 1 Corinthians 14:8... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Nehemiah 4:21

Neh 4:21 So we laboured in the work: and half of them held the spears from the rising of the morning till the stars appeared. Ver. 21. So we laboured in the work ] Their fear of the enemy did not weaken them, but waken them rather to a redoubled diligence. From the rising of the sun till the stars appeared ] Time was precious; and they redeemed and improved it. The common complaint is, We want time; but the truth is, Non parum habemus temporis, sed multum perdimus. We do not so much want as... read more
