He was a prophet during the time of Persian rule over Judea who returned to Jerusalem from the exile into Babylon many years earlier to finish building the wall around the city. The Work had been started under Zerubbabel and Ezra years earlier but discouragement, poverty and adversity from the current inhabitants halted the work. Nehemiah came and finished the work on the wall in 52 days in spite of threats, accusations of treason and assassination attempts
