Benjamin
Who he was
This Benjamin was an Israelite who lived in Jerusalem during the time of Nehemiah. He participated in the rebuilding of the wall of Jerusalem, working on the section near his house (Neh. 3:23). The rebuilding of the wall was a significant project undertaken by Nehemiah to restore the security and integrity of Jerusalem after the Babylonian exile. Benjamin's involvement in this task demonstrates his commitment to the well-being of his community and his willingness to contribute to the restoration of the city and the strengthening of its defenses.
