Hadid
Hadid is a location mentioned in the context of the repopulation of Jerusalem and its surrounding areas. It is identified as a town in the territory of Benjamin. The name Hadid means "sharp" or "pointed," which may refer to its geographical features or its strategic importance. Historically, Hadid is mentioned in the list of towns whose inhabitants returned from the Babylonian exile (Ezra 2:33; Nehemiah 7:37). This indicates its significance in the post-exilic period as part of the restoration efforts led by Nehemiah. The town's inclusion in these lists highlights the importance of re-establishing Jewish presence in the land, fulfilling God's promises of restoration.

Zeboim
Zeboim is another location listed in the context of the resettlement efforts. The name Zeboim means "hyenas" or "gazelles," which could reflect the wildlife or characteristics of the area. It is one of the towns in the region of Benjamin, and its mention alongside other towns suggests its role in the broader community of returned exiles. Zeboim is also referenced in 1 Samuel 13:18, where it is part of the route taken by a Philistine raiding party, indicating its strategic location. The inclusion of Zeboim in Nehemiah's list underscores the comprehensive nature of the repopulation efforts, ensuring that even smaller or less prominent towns were not neglected in the restoration process.

Neballat
Neballat is a town mentioned in the list of settlements in the territory of Benjamin. The name Neballat means "hidden folly" or "hidden foolishness," which might suggest something about its history or reputation. Its mention in Nehemiah 11:34 is significant as it reflects the detailed record-keeping and organizational efforts of Nehemiah and the leaders of Israel in re-establishing the Jewish community in their ancestral lands. The inclusion of Neballat, along with other towns, highlights the importance of each community in the collective identity and heritage of the people of Israel. This meticulous documentation serves as a testament to the fulfillment of God's promises to restore His people to their land, as prophesied in various Old Testament scriptures.

Teaching Points
Restoration and Community
The listing of towns like Hadid, Zeboim, and Neballat underscores the importance of community in God's plan. Just as the Israelites were called to rebuild and restore their community, Christians today are called to foster and strengthen their local church communities.

Faithfulness in Small Things
The mention of seemingly obscure towns reminds us that every place and person has significance in God's eyes. We are encouraged to be faithful in the small tasks and roles we are given, trusting that God sees and values our contributions.

God's Sovereignty in History
The repopulation of these towns is a testament to God's sovereignty and faithfulness in fulfilling His promises. Believers can take comfort in knowing that God is in control of history and is working all things for His purposes.

The Importance of Place
The specific mention of these towns highlights the importance of place in God's redemptive plan. Christians are reminded to value their own communities and seek to be a positive influence where God has placed them.Verse 34. - Hadid is joined with Lod and Ono in Ezra 2:33 and Nehemiah 7:37. It is probably the modern Haditheh, three miles east of Ludd or Lod, in the Shephelah. Zeboim is not elsewhere mentioned as a town, but we hear of a "valley of Zeboim" in 1 Samuel 13:18, which seems to have lain east of Michmash, in the bleak country towards the Jordan. Neballat is not elsewhere mentioned.
