In Nehemiah's time, Jerusalem was only one-fourth the size it had been before the exile. No one wanted to live in a city without defensive walls. Once the walls were completed, however, the community leaders wanted Jerusalem to become a thriving capital city once again. This meant transplanting citizens from the small towns (11:1-2).
