Nehemiah 1-3

Shallum son of Hallohesh, ruler of a half-district of Jerusalem, repaired the next section with the help of his daughters. (Nehemiah‬ ‭3:12‬)

Maybe other women helped to rebuild the walls and gates of Jerusalem, but only the daughters of Hallohesh are recognized here. Who appreciated their work enough to remember them—Hallohesh himself? Nehemiah? Other wall-builders and gate-hangers? I don’t know. But I can pause, reflect, and give thanks for their labors. God knows.
