Nehemiah 12:37

And at the fountain gate, which was over against them ,.... Of which see Nehemiah 2:14 and which was to the south of the dung gate:

they went up ; that is, one of the two companies, that which took to the right on the wall, Nehemiah 12:31 with which these words are to be connected:

by the stairs of the city of David ; which went up to the city of Zion, built on an eminence:

at the going up of the wall, above the house of David ; where the wall was higher, and there was an ascent to it:

even unto the water gate eastward ; of which see Nehemiah 3:26 turning from the south to the east, and so drew nigh the temple.
