These are my thoughts, please share yours.

16 So Nehemiah himself helps rebuild this shows that he was just leading the building but also lending a hand in the building it is much easier to work for a boss who is hands on.

17 The Levites were the people set apart for the service of the Lord but they knew without the wall they may not be able to serve so they do what they needed to help and we should have the same attitude in serving the Lord. So another ruler helps rebuild even he may have rebuilt his own area he did his part.

18 So the men under this other ruler rebuild maybe this ruler was unable to help himself but he sends help to get it done.

Is the Nehemiah in 16 the same Nehemiah that's appointed governor?
