By some, Nehemiah has been thought to deal too much with God on the principle of merit. That he wished God to remember him for good is sufficiently evident, and who does not wish the same? But that he expected heaven for his good deeds does not appear; for it is perfectly clear that he expected nothing from God but through the greatness of his mercy. Neh 13:22 good deeds: Heb. kindnesses house: Ch1 29:3; Ch2 24:16, Ch2 31:20, Ch2 31:21; Ezr 7:20, Ezr 7:24, Ezr 7:27; Psa 122:6-9 offices: or, observations Nehemiah 13:15
