      1  The names and order of them that built the wall.
    
    
    VERSE 1
    - Eliashib.
       * Ne 12:10; 13:28
    - the sheep gate.
      This gate is supposed to have immediately communicated with
      the temple, and to have been called the sheep gate, because
      the sheep intended for sacrifice passed through it.  But,
      after all which learned men have written on this subject,
      which is but of little interest, we scarcely know any thing
      about these gates:  what they were, why called by these names,
      or in what part of the wall they were situated, beyond what
      may be learned from the parallel passages.
    
       * Ne 12:39 Joh 5:2
    - sanctified it.
       * Ne 12:30 De 20:5 Ps 30:1 *title
       * Pr 3:6,9
    - the tower.
       * Ne 12:39 Jer 31:38 Zec 14:10

    - their nobles.
       * Jud 5:23 Jer 5:4,5 1Co 1:26 1Ti 6:17,18

       * Jos 9:3-27 2Sa 21:2
    - Mizpah.
       * :19 2Ch 16:6
    - the throne.
      That is, probably, the palace of the Persian governor, west of
      the Euphrates; the term throne being used to signify any royal
      abode:  for Sir J. Chardin, describing a splendid tent erected
      by the king of Persia, says "that there was an inscription
      wrought upon the cornice of the anti-chamber, which gave it
      the title(name) of the throne of the second Solomon."  Sitting
      upon a throne has, however, sometimes been granted to
      governors.

    - other piece.  Heb. second measure.  the tower.
       * Ne 12:38

    VERSE 13 
     - the valley gate.
       * Ne 2:13
    - Zanoah.
      There were two towns of the name of Zanoah in the tribe of
      Judah:  see the parallel passages.

       * Ne 2:13; 12:31
    - the ruler.
       * :9,12,15-18

      Beth-haccerem was a town of Judah, situated on a mountain,
      between Jerusalem and Tekoa, according to Jerome on Jer. ch.
      6.  Dr. Pococke conjectures that the Mountain of the Franks,
      called also the Mount of Bethulia, from a village of that name
      near it, west-north-west of Tekoa, is the ancient
      Beth-haccerem; the position of which seems to agree with the
      citadel of Herodium, built by Herod, on a moderate-sized hill,
      sixty furlongs from Jerusalem.
    
       * Jer 6:1
    
    
    VERSE 15 
     - the gate.
       * Ne 2:14; 12:37 2Ch 32:30

       * :7 Jud 20:1,3
    - Mizpeh.
       * Jer 40:6
    - Siloah.
      Siloah was situated under the eastern wall of Jerusalem,
      between that city and the brook Kedron, and is described by
      Chateaubriand as lying at the foot of Mount Zion.  Dr.
      Richardson represents the pool of Siloam as occurring higher
      up the valley of Jehoshaphat, towards the north, than the well
      of Nehemiah, a little beyond the village of Siloa, and nearly
      opposite the tombs of Jehoshaphat and Zechariah.

       * Ne 10:9

      That which had been left by Azariah, after he had repaired the
      wall by his own house.  It is probable that some of the
      principal people were either obliged, or voluntarily offered,
      to repair those parts of the wall which were opposite, or
      adjacent, to their own houses.  The names of those who
      repaired the walls are commemorated, because it was an
      undertaking of piety, virtue, and courage, to restore the holy
      city.

      or, the tower.
       * :27; 11:21 2Ch 27:3; 33:14
    - the water.
      The water gate is supposed to have been that by which the
      Nethinim brought in water for the use of the temple.
    
       * Ne 8:1,3; 12:37
    
    
    VERSE 27

      began at the sheep gate.
    
       * :1; 12:39 Joh 5:2
    - the goldsmiths.
      The word {tzeraphim} may denote smiths, or refiners, or
      persons that worked in metals of any kind; but it is generally
      understood of those who worked in gold.  From the remotest
      period of the history of the Jews, they had artists in all the
      elegant and ornamental trades; and it appears that goldsmiths,
      apothecaries, and merchants were formed into companies in the
      time of Nehemiah.
