'Bible (YLT) 16: Nehemiah' Summary

The book of Nehemiah tells the story of how Nehemiah, a Jewish leader who lived in the 5th century BC, rebuilt the walls of Jerusalem. Nehemiah was a cupbearer to King Artaxerxes of Persia, and when he heard that the walls of Jerusalem were in ruins, he asked the king's permission to go and rebuild them. The king granted his request, and Nehemiah returned to Jerusalem and began the work of rebuilding the walls. He faced many challenges, including opposition from the Samaritans and other enemies of the Jews, but he eventually succeeded in rebuilding the walls and restoring the city of Jerusalem.
