Explanation

(a)(i) Nehemiah received the news about the state of affairs in Jerusalem through Hanani: Nehemiah was in Shushan, the Capital, when Hanani came with certain men from Judah. Nehemiah asked them concerning the Jews who were still in Jerusalem. Hanani said the people there were in great trouble and shame. He went further that the wall of Jerusalem was broken down, its gates destroyed by fire. Hearing this, Nehemiah sat down, wept, mourned and fasted for days.

ii) When Nehemiah received the news, he prayed to God to hear the prayer of his servants. He confessed that he and his father's house had sinned. That they had not kept the commandments, statutes and the ordinances Moses commanded. He asked God to remember His words to Moses that if they were, unfaithful He would scatter them among the peoples, but should they repent and keep His commandments, He would gather them and restore them to the place He had chosen for them. Nehemiah then reminded God that He redeemed His people by His great power. He petitioned God to listen to his servants and grant him success and mercy.
