• {v.2-12} One might suppose that a man in such a position as he would have had little concern for the affairs of that poor and distant province of Palestine. Nehemiah, however, was not such a man; having enquired, he was deeply moved at the report. (“The Condition of Jerusalem - Neh. 1:2-3” by N. Simon)
• Nehemiah himself was thus an exile; but, though one of a captive race, he had found favor in the eyes of the king, and occupied a high and lucrative position. In such circumstances some might have forgotten the land of their fathers. Not so Nehemiah, for he was evidently known as one who did not cease to remember Zion. (“Exposition on Nehemiah: Nehemiah 1” by E. Dennett)
• "and concerning Jerusalem"—concerning the remnant that had gone up, with the permission of Cyrus, to build the Lord's house (Ezra 1). He was thus in fellowship with the heart of God, occupied as he was with His people and His interests. (“Exposition on Nehemiah: Nehemiah 1” by E. Dennett)
