Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Nehemiah 3:22
The priests , the men of the plain - Some of the officers of the temple, particularly the singers, dwelt in the plain country round about Jerusalem, Nehemiah 12:28 ; and it is likely that several of the priests dwelt in the same place. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Nehemiah 3:1-32
An honourable record. In the preceding chapter the good resolutions of the people are recorded; here, what is more satisfactory, their performances. It is a record of those who united to restore the wall of Jerusalem, and the part which each principal person, or group of persons, took in the work. The account may appear of little interest for us; but it would be of much to the Jews, especially the descendants of those whose names are so honourably recorded, as long as they preserved their... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Nehemiah 3:1-32
The Church engaged in a work of moral repair. I. THAT THE CHURCH IS ENGAGED IN REPAIRING MORAL RUIN . "And next unto them repaired Meremoth" ( Nehemiah 3:4 ). Jerusalem was once a strong and beautiful city; now it is in ruins. Society has not always been a ruin. Man has not always been a wreck. 1. The desolation was extensive. The entire city was waste; not a wall or gate remained intact. And man's entire intellectual and moral nature is laid waste by sin; he has no... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Nehemiah 3:1-32
Doing God's work. Under Nehemiah's direction, and inspired with his own earnestness, the children of Israel gave themselves to the good work of encircling the city of God with walls. The account of their building in this chapter reminds us— I. THAT ALL WORK WE DO FOR GOD IS CONSIDERED IMPORTANT AND IS RECORDED BY HIM . We should hardly have expected, judging antecedently, that all these names would have appeared in the sacred Scriptures with the posts... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Nehemiah 3:1-32
Church work. Notice several points in this record of the labours and the distribution of their work. I. Devotion and effort in the cause of God are worthy of DISTINCTION AND REMEMBRANCE . Names have great power, both among contemporaries and successors. We are stimulated by individual examples. 1. The priests are mentioned first ; and God's ministers should be first and foremost in every good work, especially that which is most closely connected with his house. 2. Not... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Nehemiah 3:11
Malchijah and Hashub , who are here said to have repaired, not the other piece , but "a second piece"of the wall, have not been previously mentioned in our present text; whence it has been concluded with reason (Bertheau) that the text is defective, some whole verses having fallen out (comp. Nehemiah 3:20 ). The tower of the furnaces is mentioned again in Nehemiah 12:38 . Its exact position cannot be fixed. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Nehemiah 3:12
He and his daughters . It seems to be almost impossible that women were pressed into the service, especially when it was one of so much danger ( Nehemiah 4:13-21 ). By "daughters" we must therefore understand the villages contained in Shallum's district, which is agreeable to the use of the term in Nehemiah 11:25 , Nehemiah 11:27 , Nehemiah 11:28 . read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Nehemiah 3:19
The going up to the armoury - This was either a tower that defended the angle where the two walls met; or the city arsenal, where shields, spears, etc., were kept to arm the people in time of danger. read more
