Scofield Reference Notes (1917) Book Introductions The Book of Nehemiah
Fourteen years after the return of Ezra to Jerusalem, Nehemiah led up a
company (B.C. 444) and restored the walls and the civil authority. Of
those events this book is the record. It is in eight divisions: I. The
journey to Jerusalem, 1.1-2.20 II. The building of the wall, 3.1-6.19.
III. The census, 7.1-73. IV. The revival, 8.1-11.36. V. The census of
the priests and Levites, 12.1-26. VI. Dedication of the wall, 12.27-43.
VII. Restoration of the temple worship, 12.44-47. VIII. The legal order
restored, 13.1-31. The moral state of the time is disclosed by the
prophet Malachi. This book affords many instances of individual faith
acting on the written word (e.g. 1.8,9; 13.1). It is the principle of
2Ti 2.
The events recorded in Nehemiah cover a period of 11 years (Ussher).

[1] {Tobiah}
Two Tobiahs are distinguished by many: (1) "Tobiah the servant, the
Ammonite," Neh. 2.10,19 4.3,7 6.1,12,14. (2) A Jew, unable to prove his
genealogy. But the reference to the latter (Neh. 7.62) indicates that he
was already dead. But one Tobiah, and he the Ammonite, is active in this
book.
