It was known for its strategic location and its inhabitants, the Gibeonites, who famously tricked Joshua into making a peace treaty with them (Joshua 9). This treaty allowed them to live among the Israelites, although they were made servants. The mention of Gibeon here highlights the integration of these people into the community of Israel, despite their foreign origin. This reflects the broader biblical theme of God's grace extending beyond ethnic boundaries, as seen in the inclusion of Gentiles in the New Testament (Acts 10).<p><b>95;</b><br>The specific number of 95 descendants indicates the careful record-keeping and organization during the time of Nehemiah. This enumeration was part of a larger effort to repopulate Jerusalem and restore the community after the Babylonian exile. The precision of this number underscores the importance of each family and individual in the rebuilding process. It also reflects the biblical principle that God values each person, as seen in the parable of the lost sheep (<a href="/luke/15-3.htm">Luke 15:3-7</a>), where every individual is significant in God's eyes.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/n/nehemiah.htm">Nehemiah</a></b><br>A Jewish leader who played a crucial role in the rebuilding of Jerusalem's walls after the Babylonian exile.
