Seem to have been added by the writer of viii. -x. (see above, p. 33), and the first verse of the next chapter is intro- duced abruptly without any conjunction or other sign of connection with what precedes. A portion of Nehemiah's narrative has, for reasons unknown to us, been suppressed. We learn from xiii. 6 that it related to events which occupied as much as twelve years. In the thirty-second year of Artaxerxes, Nehemiah was recalled by the king, who was then at Babylon, but after a short i...nterval was allowed to return to Jerusalem with his former powers. He must have arrived at the beginning of the autumn (xiii. 15). During his absence, the Jews fell back into their old intercourse with the Gentiles, Eliashib the high-priest himself setting the example. Not only was his grandson married to Sanballat's daughter, but he was himself also ' allied ' to Tobiah, the Ammonite slave, to whom he had handed over one of the chambers in the temple. This had been reserved after the dedication of the walls for the storage of the tithes and other provisions for the Levites and priests.
