SEV Biblia, Chapter 2:18
Entonces les declaré cómo la mano de mi Dios era buena sobre mí, y asimismo las palabras del rey, que me había dicho. Y dijeron: Levantémonos, y edifiquemos. Y confortaron sus manos para bien.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Nehemiah 2:18
Verse 18. Then I told them] He opened to them his design and his commission.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 18. Then I told them of the hand of my God which was good upon me . etc.] Of the kind providence of God in exalting him in the court of the king of Persia, in giving him an opportunity of laying the sad case of Jerusalem before him, and in inclining his heart to show favour to him, and grant his request: as also the king’s words that he had spoken to me ; what passed between them on this subject, the commission he gave him, and the letters he sent by him to his governors on this side the river: and they said, let us rise up and build ; encouraged by this account of things, they proposed to set about the work immediately: so they strengthened their hands for this good work ; animated and encouraged one another to proceed to it at once with cheerfulness, and to go on in it with spirit and resolution.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 9-18 - When Nehemiah had considered the matter, he told the Jews that God ha put it into his heart to build the wall of Jerusalem. He does no undertake to do it without them. By stirring up ourselves and on another to that which is good, we strengthen ourselves and one anothe for it. We are weak in our duty, when we are cold and careless.
