Contextual Overview

¹⁰ Then I found out the people were not giving the Levites their shares. So the Levites and singers who served had gone back to their own farms. ¹¹ I argued with the officers, saying, "Why haven't you taken care of the Temple?" Then I gathered the Levites and singers and put them back at their places. ¹² All the people of Judah then brought to the storerooms a tenth of their crops, new wine, and olive oil. ¹³ I put these men in charge of the storerooms: Shelemiah the priest, Zadok the teacher, and Pedaiah a Levite. I made Hanan son of Zaccur, the son of Mattaniah, their helper. Everyone knew they were honest. They gave out the portions that went to their relatives. ¹⁴ Remember me, my God, for this. Do not ignore my love for the Temple and its service.

Bible Verse Review

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

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!
