Contextual Overview

10 I also found out that the temple singers and several other Levites had returned to work on their farms, because they had not been given their share of the harvest. 11 I called the leaders together and angrily asked them, "Why is the temple neglected?" Then I told them to start doing their jobs. 12 After this, everyone in Judah brought a tenth of their grain, wine, and olive oil to the temple storeroom. 13 Finally, I appointed three men with good reputations to be in charge of what was brought there and to distribute it to the others. They were Shelemiah the priest, Zadok the teacher of the Law, and Pedaiah the Levite. Their assistant was Hanan, the son of Zaccur and the grandson of Mattaniah. 14 I pray that my God will remember these good things that I have done for his temple and for those who worship there.

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

Remember me: Nehemiah 13:22, Nehemiah 13:31, Nehemiah 5:19, Psalms 122:6-9, Hebrews 6:10, Revelation 3:5

wipe not: If thou wert strict to mark what is done amiss, even my good deeds must be wiped out: but, Lord, remember me in thy mercy, and let my upright conduct be acceptable to Thee! By some, Nehemiah has been thought to deal too much with God on the principle of merit. That he wished God to remember him for good is sufficiently evident, and who does not wish the same? But that he expected heaven for his good deeds does not appear; for it is perfectly clear that he expected nothing from God but through the greatness of his mercy. Nehemiah 13:22

good deeds: Heb. kindnesses

house: 1 Chronicles 29:3, 2 Chronicles 24:16, 2 Chronicles 31:20, 2 Chronicles 31:21, Ezra 7:20, Ezra 7:24, Ezra 7:27, Psalms 122:6-9

offices: or, observations

Reciprocal: Genesis 8:1 - God remembered Genesis 19:29 - that God Leviticus 2:2 - the memorial 1 Samuel 26:23 - render 2 Kings 20:3 - remember Psalms 26:11 - and Psalms 106:4 - Remember Psalms 122:9 - I will seek Isaiah 38:3 - Remember 2 Timothy 1:16 - Lord

Your descendants will spread over the earth in all directions and will become as numerous as the specks of dust. Your family will be a blessing to all people.

The Lord said: Open your eyes! Look around! Crowds are coming. Your sons are on their way from distant lands; your daughters are being carried like little children.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Remember me, O my God, concerning this,.... Not in a way of strict justice, as if he thought he merited anything at the hand of God for what he had done; but in a way of grace and mercy, that he would graciously accept thereof, as done for the honour of his name, and overlook all failings and infirmities therein, see Nehemiah 13:22

and wipe not out my good deeds that I have done for the house of my God, and for the offices thereof; for the support of the worship of God in the temple, and for the regulating of the wards and courses in it, both priests and Levites, and for the maintenance of them; which being done from a right principle, love to God, and with a right view, the glory of his name, might be truly reckoned good works: and which he desires might not be wiped or blotted out of the book of his remembrance, see Hosea 6:10.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 14. Wipe not out my good deeds — If thou wert strict to mark what is done amiss, even my good deeds must be wiped out; but, Lord, remember me in thy mercy, and let my upright conduct be acceptable to thee!
