John Trapp on Nehemiah 2:11

Verſe 11. So I came to Jeruſalem] Thither God brought him as on Eagles wings; maugre the malice of his Enemies. The Jewes had great reaſon to rejoyce, and to welcome him with great ſolemnity; which yet they did not, for ought we read: but that, hetaketh not for any diſcouragement; his reward was with God. He was of another ſpirit then his Countrey-men, who were all for their own ends, and intereſts, and little cared for the publike.

And was there three dayes] Reſting his body (Quod caret alterna requie, &c. See the Note on Ezra 8.32.) But caſting about in his mind how beſt to effect that he came for,Ovid. and to perſwade with others to joyn with him. And now he found that he was come from the Court to the Cart, from a pleaſant life, to a careful and cumberſome.
