Nehemiah 11
1. The rulers, voluntary men, and the tenth man chosen by lot, dwell at Jerusalem.
3. A catalogue of their names.
20. Those who remain dwell in other cities.














and his associates
This phrase refers to the companions or fellow workers of the individual mentioned in the previous verse. In the context of Nehemiah, these associates were likely part of the group of Israelites who returned from exile to help rebuild Jerusalem. The Hebrew word for "associates" can imply a close-knit group, emphasizing the unity and cooperation necessary for the monumental task of restoration. This highlights the importance of community and teamwork in achieving God's purposes.

mighty men of valor
The term "mighty men of valor" is a recurring phrase in the Old Testament, often used to describe warriors of great courage and strength. The Hebrew word "gibbor" denotes a hero or a champion, someone who is not only physically strong but also possesses moral and spiritual fortitude. These men were not just soldiers; they were leaders and protectors of their people, embodying the courage and faith required to defend and rebuild their nation. This phrase inspires believers to be courageous in their faith and to stand firm in the face of adversity.

128
The specific number, 128, indicates the precise count of these mighty men. In the biblical context, numbers often carry symbolic significance. While the number itself may not have a specific symbolic meaning here, its inclusion underscores the importance of each individual in God's plan. Every person counted was vital to the mission, reminding us that in God's kingdom, every individual matters and has a role to play.

Their overseer
The role of an overseer was crucial in maintaining order and ensuring the successful completion of tasks. The Hebrew word for overseer, "pakid," implies someone who is appointed to a position of authority and responsibility. This role required wisdom, leadership, and the ability to manage people effectively. In a spiritual sense, it reflects the need for godly leadership within the community of believers, guiding and directing them according to God's will.

Zabdiel
Zabdiel, whose name means "gift of God," was the overseer of these mighty men. His name itself is a testament to the belief that leaders are divinely appointed and equipped for their roles. Zabdiel's leadership would have been seen as a blessing to the community, a reminder that God provides the right people at the right time to fulfill His purposes.

son of Haggedolim
The phrase "son of Haggedolim" can be translated as "son of the great ones" or "son of the nobles." This indicates that Zabdiel came from a lineage of notable or influential individuals. It suggests a heritage of leadership and responsibility, emphasizing the importance of legacy and the impact of one's family and upbringing on their role in God's plan. This lineage serves as an encouragement to honor the spiritual heritage and to continue the work of those who have gone before us in faith.

(14) Of valour.--Able for the service of God's house: men of ability, therefore.

The son of one of the great men.--Rather, son of Haggedolim.

Verse 14. - Their brethren, mighty men of valour. Not "men of great courage," as Bp. Patrick explains, but "very able men for the work of the service of the house of God," as our translators render the parallel passage of Chronicles (1 Chronicles 9:13). Zabdiel, the son of one of the great men. Rather, as in the margin, "the son of Haggedolim."
