In the twentieth year of the reign of Artaxerxes Longimanus, king or emperor of Persia (B. C. 445), he was cupbearer to the monarch. Questioned as to why he looked sad, he replied that his sorrow arose from the reflection that the city (Jerusalem), the place of his ancestors' sepulchres, lay waste, with its gates burnt (Neh. ii.3). He requested permission to rebuild the city, and was allowed temporary leave of absence to carry out the project. Carrying with him letters from the king designed to secure co-operation from various quarters, he proceeded to Jerusalem, obtained zealous assistance from his countrymen, and, notwithstanding Samaritan and other opposition, rebuilt the wall.
