Nehemiah returns to Jerusalem after a trip to Persia and finds the people have already backslid — so he rolls up his sleeves and cleans house.
After a period away, Nehemiah comes back to find Tobiah living in a temple storeroom, Levites unpaid and gone back to farming, Sabbath being violated by merchants, and intermarriage happening again. He physically throws Tobiah's stuff out, confronts the officials, shuts the city gates on the Sabbath, and even pulls out the hair of men who married foreign wives. His blunt, hands-on leadership style is on full display.
