The Rab-shakeh's name was Nehemiah, a name chosen by his parents, not as a fancy name or as a family name, but chosen for the same reason which usually influenced Jewish parents in the selection of names for their children, because of its beautiful meaning. Nehemiah meant The Lord my Comforter.
The temple, it is true, is built at last, but nothing more is done; the walls lie just as they were when the city was taken, a mass of ruins; the gates are nowhere to be seen, only a few blackened stones mark the place where they used to stand. The Rab-shakeh's heart is very heavy as he goes to his rooms in the royal palace. What terrible news he has heard!
The ruins of Shushan, the City of Lilies, were discovered by Sir Fenwick Williams in the year 1851, and the bases of the very pillars which supported the roof of the great Rab-shakeh's splendid home may be seen this very day on the plain between the two rivers. But who was this Rab-shakeh, and how came he to live in the most glorious palace in the world?
