Nehemiah, while a cupbearer in the court of the Persian king Artaxerxes I, heard that the walls around Jerusalem had been broken down. The king of Persia allowed Nehemiah to journey to Jerusalem in 445 B.C., and serve as governor. The walls were rebuilt (Neh.1-6), and true worship was restored (Neh.8-10), the city was repopulated and there were celebrations at the dedication of the wall (Neh.11-12), and later the renewal itself was renewed (Neh.13).
