Nehemiah 11:25-30
v. 25-36: The rest of the Israelites lived in many towns and villages outside Jerusalem. The children of Judah lived in certain towns (Nehemiah 11:25-30 a), and the children of Benjamin in others (Nehemiah 11:31-35 b). The Levites were spread among both tribes (Nehemiah 11:36 c). Even though the people were few and not wealthy, God’s blessing could help them grow strong and rich. However, the prophet Malachi, who spoke around this time, warned them that their lack of true faith and spiritual enthusiasm could hold them back. Prophecy stopped after Malachi until it began again with John the Baptist and Jesus.
