The King's Cup-Bearer Produced by Joel Erickson, Michael Ciesielski, Marit Henningsen and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team. "The King's Cup-Bearer" by Mrs. O. F. Walton is a historical novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story centers around Nehemiah, a Jewish cup-bearer in the court of King Artaxerxes of Persia, during a time when Jerusalem lies in ruins and its people are in despair. The narrative focuses on themes of faith, leadership, and communal responsibility as Nehemiah learns of the dire state of Jerusalem and is inspired to take action to restore his homeland. The opening of the novel introduces the vivid setting of the City of Lilies, Shushan, and establishes the significance of Nehemiah's position at the Persian court, which places him in a unique spot to influence the king. After a long separation from his brother Hanani, Nehemiah is filled with hope upon their reunion but soon learns of the bleak conditions in Jerusalem: the walls are broken, the city is in ruins, and its people defeated. Deeply troubled, Nehemiah turns to prayer as his first response to the sorrowful news, setting the stage for his mission to rebuild both the physical walls of Jerusalem and the morale of its inhabitants. This genesis of Nehemiah’s journey into leadership and restoration is emphasized by his hopeful name and his reliance on divine comfort amidst adversity. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
