Nehemiah 11
Overview
11:1 The rulers, voluntary men, and the tenth man chosen by lot, dwell at Jerusalem;
11:3 A catalogue of their names;
11:20 The residue dwell in other cities. Verse 1 the rulers Nehemiah 7:4, 7:5; Deuteronomy 17:8, 17:9; Psalm 122:5 cast lotsJerusalem certainly had many inhabitants at this time, but not sufficient to preserve the city, which was now encompassed with a wall, the building of which was going on fast. Nehemiah, therefore, obliged one-tenth of the country people to come and dwell in it, that the population might be sufficient for the defence of the city. Some volunteered their services, which was at that time considered a sacrifice to patriotism; as Jerusalem then afforded very few advantages, and was a place of considerable danger: hence "the people blessed them that willingly offered themselves."

The dedication seems to have consisted in processions of the most eminent persons around the walls, with thanksgivings to God, who had enabled them to bring the work to so happy a conclusion; and, no doubt, to all this were added a particular consecration of the city to God, and the most earnest invocation that He would take it under His guardianship, and defend it and its inhabitants against their enemies.
