Nehemiah 11:14, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
Nehemiah is listing the families who repopulated Jerusalem after the exile, and this verse closes the priestly section. Amashai's line is traced back through Immer, a priestly clan, and his 128 associates are called mighty men of valor, the same phrase used of soldiers, though here it likely means capable, battle-ready men.
