Wesley's Notes for Nehemiah 6:8

6:7 A king - We have now a king of our nation. Counsel - That we may impartially examine the matter, that thy innocency may be cleared.

6:9 Strengthen my hands - A good prayer, when we are entering on any particular services or conflicts in our Christian warfare.

6:10 Shut up - In his chamber adjoining to the temple, upon pretence of singular devotion, and communion with God, and withal upon pretence of certain knowledge, by the Spirit of God concerning their approaching danger, from which thy could be safe nowhere but in the temple. For if Nehemiah had done this, the people would have left their work, and every one have shifted for his own safety.
