Nehemiah Scofield Reference : 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:
The journey to Jerusalem, 1.1-2.20 the building of the wall, 3.1-6.19. III. The census,
7.1-73. The revival, 8.1-11.36. The census of the priests and Levites, 12.1-26. Dedication of the wall, 12.27-43. Restoration of the temple worship, 12.44-47. 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).
