Unity in God's Work
Commentator Matthew Henry observes that the detailed list of builders, including families like Malchijah's and Hasshub's, illustrates a powerful principle of unity. People from all walks of life worked together, not in competition, but with a shared desire for the public good. This serves as a model for the church, urging believers to set aside petty disputes and personal interests to advance the cause of Christ together.
