Concept:Nehemiah received news about the condition of Jerusalem from a relative who came to visit him in Persia.
Explanation:This event is recorded in Nehemiah 1:2.
Nehemiah was serving as cupbearer to King Artaxerxes in Susa.
His brother Hanani arrived from Judah with some other men.
Nehemiah questioned them about the Jewish remnant that had survived the exile.
He also asked them specifically about the city of Jerusalem.
Hanani reported that the survivors were in great trouble and disgrace.
He also told Nehemiah that the wall of Jerusalem had been broken down and its gates burned with fire.
This bad news made Nehemiah weep, fast, and pray to God.
Tobias and Sanballat were later opponents of Nehemiah's work, not the source of his inquiry.
Ezra was a priest and scribe who led another return to Jerusalem.
Hacaliah was simply the father of Nehemiah.
Therefore, the person Nehemiah inquired from was Hanani.
Answer:D. Hanani
