Adam Clarke, on Neh 13:11
Adam Clarke · 1762–1832
Neh 13:11 · Douay-Rheims
“And I pleaded the matter against the magistrates, and said: Why have we forsaken the house of God? And I gathered them together, and I made them to stand in their places.”
On this verse:
“Why is the house of God forsaken? - They had all solemnly promised, Neh 10:39, that they would never forsake the house of their God; but, alas, how soon is this forgotten! Nehemiah used their own words here by way of reproof.”
