Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Nehemiah 13:28

Therefore I chased him from me— Ordered him immediately to depart the country, as he refused to quit his wife. Josephus relates the matter as if this expulsion had been effected by the power of the great Sanhedrin; but, whether the Sanhedrin was at this time in being or not, as we have no clear footsteps of it till the time of Judas Maccabeus, there was no occasion for their interposing, since Nehemiah, no doubt, as governor of the province, had authority enough to banish him out of Judaea. See Bertram, de Repub. Jude 1:13.
