Nehemiah 12 begins with a list of the priests and Levites who returned to Jerusalem with Zerubbabel for the building of the second temple. The building of the temple concluded in 516 BC. Nehemiah came to Jerusalem to rebuild the walls in 424 BC, a good 92 years after the second temple was erected. For nearly 100 years the tempe had stood without any barriers. It was important for Nehemiah to acknowledge the pioneers of Jerusalem who returned to a dangerous place, after King Cyrus of Persia allowed them to, when he took power over Babylon in 539 BC.
