Notes, Explanatory and Practical, on the Old and New Testaments (1832-1869)

The constant mention of “priests,” “Levites,” and Nethinims,” sufficiently indicates that the writer is here concerned with the sacerdotal quarter, that immediately about the temple. Neh 3:18 Bavai - Or, “Binnui” Neh 3:24; Neh 10:9. The armoury at the turning of the wall - literally, “the armoury of the corner.” The northwestern corner of the special wall of the “city of David” seems to be intended. See Neh 3:1 note.
