Nehemiah the son of Azbuk
on Nehemiah 3:16-27
A second Nehemiah, son of Azbuk, repairs to the place over against the sepulchres of David and the house of the mighty, the roll passing David's tombs and his guard-house in one clause. Through this stretch the record's quiet principle emerges and repeats: men repair over against their own houses, Levites, priests and Nethinims each by their dwelling, responsibility mapped to residence. The Tekoites appear a second time at verse 27, the commoners doubling the portion their nobles refused.

After him repaired Meremoth the son of Uriah, the son of Koz, another piece,.... He had wrought before in another part, Neh 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.
