What did the Jews do when Nehemiah told them about his mission in Jerusalem?
Answer Details
When Nehemiah told the Jews about his mission in Jerusalem to rebuild the walls of the city, they encouraged him to rise up and build the walls. This is evidenced in Nehemiah 2:18 where the Jews said to Nehemiah, "Let us rise up and build." They did not become hostile or discouraged, nor did they inform Sanballat and Tobiah about his plans. Instead, they supported Nehemiah and his mission to rebuild Jerusalem's walls.
