Nehemiah 13:6 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

But in all this time was I not at Jerusalem Which gave Eliashib the opportunity of doing these things; for unless Nehemiah had been absent, he durst not have done them. For in the two and thirtieth year of Artaxerxes, came I unto the king Namely, from Jerusalem, where he had been once and again; and after certain days obtained I leave of the king To return to Jerusalem. In the Hebrew it is, At the end of days; that is, at the year's end: for so the word ימים , jamim, (days,) often signifies in Scripture.
