After the wall was completed and the doors set in the gates, Nehemiah appointed gate keepers, singers, Levites, and two trustworthy men to be in charge of Jerusalem. One was his brother; the other was the commander of the Citadel. He chose the commander, because he was "...a man of integrity and feared God more than most men do." That was a high complement and should be the qualifications for any person elected to office. Nehemiah turned his attention to rebuilding houses in Jerusalem, so that residents could return with their families. He called for a census to be taken. As a result, he found the genealogical record of the first return of the exiles to Judah. It is included in chapter 7 and is identical to Ezra chapter 2.
