Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Nehemiah 13:1-31

Chapter 13On that day they read in the book of Moses in the audience of all the people; and therein was found written, that an Ammonite and the Moabite should not come into the congregation of God for ever; Because they met not the children of Israel with bread and with water, but they hired Balaam against them, that he should curse them: howbeit our God turned the curse into a blessing. Now it came to pass, when they had heard the law, that they separated from Israel all the mixed multitude (... read more

Nehemiah 13:6-7 . In the thirty second year of Artaxerxes. Having been governor in Jerusalem twelve years, Nehemiah returned to the king, at Babylon; and after a residence of about twelve months at the Persian court, he again came to Jerusalem. See note on Nehemiah 2:6. And what was his mortification, to find Tobiah, the great enemy of the Jews, possessing a princely chamber in the temple.

Nehemiah 13:2Howbeit our God turned the curse into a blessing.The curse turned into a blessingThis was just like God, whose name and nature are love.1. The devil turns the blessing into a curse. When God created man He endowed him with the power of choice, made his will free, so that he might choose good and evil. The creature was thus endowed with an inestimable blessing. The devil, by the subtlety and force of temptation, turned man’s dignity against himself and effected his ruin, and through... read more

Nehemiah 13:11Then contended I with the rulers.Work and worshipThen the topic is not new. It is a question which propounds itself in every age. The particular aspect of the question we have to deal with at present is this, Why does the working man forsake the house of God? Many of the reasons given arise out of the industrial conditions of the working classes.1. One of the reasons given by working men is that the conditions of their industrial existence afford them no leisure time. Is this a... read more

Nehemiah 13:22Spare me according to the greatness of Thy mercy.Nehemiah’s appeal to God’s mercyThe bird which soars the highest builds the lowest nest. The more a man is lifted up in communion with Heaven the deeper is his abasement in his own eyes. The holiest are the humblest. Those who bear most fruit have least “confidence in the flesh.” How interesting to observe that, though the conceptions of believers under the old dispensation respecting the exact mode of salvation were dim, yet they... read more

Nehemiah 13:26Did not Solomon king of Israel sin by these things?Solomon1. It may appear remarkable that one who fell so grievously should contribute at all to the Book of God, nor is there any other instance of the kind; but his sad history adds a peculiar weight of warning to his words; nor are there any books more strongly marked by the finger of God.2. Solomon was chosen of God, and afterwards rejected as Saul had been; he was full of wisdom and understanding, and what is far more, of... read more

Nehemiah 13:31Remember me, O my God, for good.Simplicity and powerConsciousness of religion cannot be of necessity wrong, and it is only a false estimate of human nature with regard to God which enables men to take another view with regard to such sets. With boldness and without hesitation Paul says he has run good course and fought a good fight; and he based upon this declaration that there was laid up for him a crown of righteousness. In the same way we find constant recognition by David of... read more
