Nehemiah 3:16

After him repaired Nehemiah the son of Azbuk, the ruler of the half part of Bethzur. A strong fortified place in the tribe of Judah, Joshua 15:58 ,

unto the place over against the sepulchres of David ; where he and his family, and the kings of his race, were buried, which remained to this time untouched by the Babylonians, and to many ages after; see Acts 2:29

and to the pool that was made ; not a natural, but an artificial one, which was made by Hezekiah, 2 Kings 20:20 ,

and unto the house of the mighty ; where was a garrison of soldiers in former time for defence.
