It is often, and mostly, proposed that there were 4 'decrees' to do with the restoration of the Jews from the deportation to Babylonia.

*Note: I believe there is only evidence for three!
These are as follows:

1. The decree issued to rebuild the Temple in the 1st year of Cyrus, 536 BC (2 Chron 36/22-23, Ezra 1/1-6, 4/1-5 and 5/13-17

2. The decree issued to complete the Temple in the 2nd year of Darius (1) Hystaspes, 520 BC. Ezra 4/24, 6/1-12, Hag 1/1-2 and 14-15

3. The decree issued to 'beautify the Temple' in the 7th year of Artexerxes Ezra 7/7-28.
*(This decree also incorporated the rebuilding of the gates and walls (Ezra 9\9) Read the context of Ezra's prayer carefully)

4.*This record in the 20th year of Artexerxes 1 Longimanus (Neh 2/1-8, 13, 17) does not contain a decree, but is a response to a plea by Nehemiah for further assistance in obtaining timber and such like, as the realisation of completing the wall construction had not yet been finalised.

Why?
*The 'news' relayed to Nehemiah in ch 1 was only distressing to him because of the incomplete state of the walls and gates.
The news of the walls destruction in the first place by the Babylonians was 'no news' as this happened ~131 years before and was the subject of much widespread grief amongst the captivity.

So why was the news so distressing to Nehemiah? Because he expected something different! He expected that the walls and gates should have been rebuilt by now, so on the news that they weren't, he was very upset. (1/4)

He immediately sat down and did the only thing possible and prayed to Yahweh, confessing the sins and weaknesses of the nation, (in captivity and returned) and sought a blessing of remembrance and strength on those who had returned to set about the work again. (4-11)

Nehemiah then set about the task of seeking permission and authority to obtain more materials to complete the work which had been decreed to happen in Ezra 7.
