After him Baruch the son of Zabbai earnestly repaired the other piece ,.... Towards and next to that Ezer the last builder mentioned had repaired; and this he did "earnestly", or in anger as the word signifies, being angry with himself or others that there was any backwardness shown to the work; and therefore, with all haste and eagerness imaginable, attended to it: from the turning of the wall ; see the preceding verse: unto the door of the house of Eliashib the high priest ; of... read more

After him repaired Meremoth the son of Uriah, the son of Koz, another piece ,.... He had wrought before in another part, Nehemiah 3:4 , but having finished that, he sets his hand a second time to the work: from the door of the house of Eliashib, even to the end of the house of Eliashib ; the door of his house seems to have been at one end of it, and from that end to the other was a considerable length; he being a great man, the high priest, had a large house. read more

Palal the son of Uzai, over against the turning of the wall ,.... Who dwelt there, and so repaired what was right against him: and the tower which lieth out from the king's high house : which might be built for prospect, or his upper house: that was by the court of the prison ; and we often read in Jeremiah of the court of the prison being in or near the king's house, see Jeremiah 32:2 , after him Pedaiah the son of Parosh ; went on from hence with the repair. read more

Moreover, the Nethinims dwelt in Ophel ,.... An high tower upon the wait, in this part of it, see 2 Chronicles 27:3 , these were servants to the Levites, and repaired here, where their dwellings were: unto the place over against the water gate toward the east : and as one part of their work was to fetch water for the temple, they were here very properly situated; it led to the king's garden, the valley of Jehoshaphat, and from thence a plain way to Bethany: and the tower that lieth... read more

After them the Tekoites repaired another piece ,.... Having finished what they undertook in another part of the wall, Nehemiah 3:5 , they engage in this part of it; which shows their great zeal and diligence, when their nobles were so backward to it, and withdrew from it: over against the great tower that lieth out ; the same as in the preceding verse: even unto the wall of Ophel ; from right against the great tower unto the wall the Tekoites repaired. read more

From above the horse gate repaired the priests ,.... So called, either because near it were stables for horses; or through it horses were led to be watered at the brook of Kidron, to which it was near; or to be exercised in the valley; Josephus F3 Ut supra. (De Bello Jud. l. 5. c. 4. sect. 2,3.) speaks of the "hippie", or horse tower, which might be near it: everyone over against his house ; for it seems there was a row of houses in which the priests dwelt, and each of them... read more

After them repaired Zadok the son of Immer, over against his house ,.... After the last of the priests, this begun where they ended, and repaired as far as his house reached; and being, perhaps, a person of some note, his house might be a large one: after him repaired also Shemaiah, the son of Shechaniah, the keeper of the east gate ; that is, of the temple; for the gates of the city having been burnt so long, it cannot be thought there should be a keeper of any of them. read more
