CHRONOLOGY OF EZRA-NEHEMIAH

Nehemiah 11-3

• The words of Nehemiah the son of Hacaliah. Now it
  happened in the month Chislev, in the twentieth
  year, while I was in Susa the capitol, 2 that
  Hanani, one of my brothers, and some men from
  Judah came and I asked them concerning the Jews
  who had escaped and had survived the captivity,
  and about Jerusalem.
• 3 And they said to me, "The remnant there in the
  province who survived the captivity are in great
  distress and reproach, and the wall of Jerusalem
  is broken down and its gates are burned with
  fire."

Nehemiah 21-2

• And it came about in the month Nisan, in the
  twentieth year of King Artaxerxes, that wine was
  before him, and I took up the wine and gave it to
  the king. Now I had not been sad in his presence.
• 2 So the king said to me, "Why is your face sad
  though you are not sick? This is nothing but
  sadness of heart." Then I was very much afraid.

5
Nehemiah 23-5

• And I said to the king, "Let the king live
  forever. Why should my face not be sad when the
  city, the place of my fathers' tombs, lies
  desolate and its gates have been consumed by
  fire?"
• 4 Then the king said to me, "What would you
  request?" So I prayed to the God of heaven.
• 5 And I said to the king, "If it please the king,
  and if your servant has found favor before you,
  send me to Judah, to the city of my fathers'
  tombs, that I may rebuild it."

  square which was in front of the Water Gate, and
  they asked Ezra the scribe to bring the book of
  the law of Moses which the LORD had given to
  Israel.

Nehemiah 82-3

• Then Ezra the priest brought the law before the
  assembly of men, women, and all who could listen
  with understanding, on the first day of the
  seventh month. 3 And he read from it before the
  square which was in front of the Water Gate from
  early morning until midday, in the presence of
  men and women, those who could understand and
  all the people were attentive to the book of the
  law.
