Adam Clarke's Bible Commentary Verse 8. The children of Parosh] As this chapter is almost entirely the same with the second chapter of the book of Ezra, it is not necessary to add any thing to what is said there; and to that chapter, and the accompanying notes, the reader is requested to refer.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 5-73 - Nehemiah knew that the safety of a city, under God, depends more upo the inhabitants than upon its walls. Every good gift and every goo work are from above. God gives knowledge, he gives grace; all is of him, and therefore all must be to him. What is done by human prudence must be ascribed to the direction of Divine Providence. But woe to those who turn back from the Lord, loving this present world! and happ those who dedicate themselves, and their substance, to his service an glory _________________________________________________
