9:30 You prolonged your kindness with them for many years, and you solemnly admonished them by your Spirit through your prophets. Still they paid no attention, so you delivered them into the hands of the neighboring peoples.

Clarke: Neh 9:30 - Many years didst thou forbear

Many years didst thou forbear - It is supposed that Nehemiah refers here principally to the ten tribes. And many years did God bear with them; not less than two hundred and fifty-four years from their separation from the house of David, till their captivity and utter dispersion under Shalmaneser; during the whole of which time God invariably warned them by his prophets; or, as it is here said, by thy Spirit in thy prophets, which gives us the true notion of Divine inspiration. God’ s Spirit was given to the prophets; and they testified to the people, according as they were taught and influenced by this Spirit.

Poole: Neh 9:30 - Didst thou forbear them // By thy spirit in thy prophets // Yet would they not give ear

Didst thou forbear them i.e. thou didst delay to bring upon them those judgments which thou hadst threatened, and they had deserved, and didst wait for their repentance.

By thy spirit in thy prophets by thy prophets, who shake to them by the inspiration of thy Holy Spirit, whom therefore they should have obeyed.

Yet would they not give ear i.e. would not obey them, nor would they vouchsafe so much as to hear them.

Haydock: Neh 9:30 - Years

Years, 254; during which time God had not ceased to recall his people to a sense of their duty, but all in vain.

Gill: Neh 9:30 - Yet many years didst thou forbear them // and testifiedst against them by thy Spirit in thy prophets // yet they would not give ear // therefore gavest thou them into the hand of the people of the lands

Yet many years didst thou forbear them,.... Throughout the reigns of several kings, such was God's longsuffering towards them: or, "thou didst draw upon them"; that is, his mercy, as Jarchi interprets it; he drew it out of his heart, and prolonged it towards them:

and testifiedst against them by thy Spirit in thy prophets; who reproved and admonished them, as they were moved by the Holy Spirit of God in them, who spoke in his name, and what he suggested to them:

yet they would not give ear; to what the prophets said, and the Spirit of God in them:

therefore gavest thou them into the hand of the people of the lands: people that were lords of many countries, as the Assyrians and Chaldeans.
