2:11-20
Three days after arriving in Jerusalem, Nehemiah began to inspect the walls. He did so at night, probably not wanting to attract undue attention. He had one or two others with him. He had not told anyone, not even the Jews, exactly what his plans were, not wanting anything to leak out. He was fully aware of the dangers. However after completing his methodical inspection he told them of his desire to rebuild the walls. He also told them how God had enabled him to gain favour from the king. They were keen to get on with his rebuilding plan. However, Sanballat and Tobiah were not pleased and accused them of rebelling against the king. Nehemiah was not discouraged at all, for he had confidence in God.
