Nehemías 7:2 Meaning and Commentary

Nehemiah 7:2

That I gave my brother Hanani
Who first brought him the melancholy account of the state of Jerusalem, ( Nehemiah 1:2 Nehemiah 1:3 ) ,

and Hananiah the ruler of the palace;
the king's palace, in which the viceroy of the king of Persia dwelt, and now Nehemiah; to these two men he gave

charge over Jerusalem;
committed it to their care during his absence, who may be supposed now to return to Persia, as he had promised, ( Nehemiah 2:6 ) ,

for he was a faithful man;
this is said of Hananiah, and given as a reason why such a trust was committed to him; Hanani's character was well known, and his journey from Jerusalem to Shushan was a full proof of his hearty concern for the interest of it:

and feared God above many;
Hananiah was exemplary in his fear of God, few were equal to him, and none exceeded him; or of many days, as Jarchi; of a long time he had feared the Lord, and served him many years.

Nehemías 7:2 In-Context

1 AconteciĂł que cuando la muralla fue reedificada y habĂ­a yo asentado las puertas y habĂ­an sido designados los porteros, los cantores y los levitas,
2 puse al frente de Jerusalén a mi hermano Hananí y a Hananías, jefe de la fortaleza, porque éste era hombre fiel y temeroso de Dios más que muchos;
3 y les dije: No se abrirán las puertas de Jerusalén hasta que caliente el sol; y estando todavía los porteros en sus puestos, se cerrarán y atrancarán las puertas. Designad también guardias de los habitantes de Jerusalén, unos en su puesto de guardia, y otros delante de su casa.
4 Y la ciudad era espaciosa y grande, pero el pueblo dentro de ella era poco y no habĂ­a casas reedificadas.
5 Entonces mi Dios puso en mi corazón reunir a los nobles, a los oficiales y al pueblo para que fueran inscritos por genealogías. Y encontré el libro de la genealogía de los que habían subido primero, y hallé escrito en él:
