Nehemiah son of Azbuk

on Nehemiah 3:16-27

The roll passes David's tombs and a guard-house in one clause. Through this stretch men repair opposite their own houses, the Levites, priests and temple servants each by their dwelling. The Tekoites appear a second time at verse 27, the commoners doubling the portion their nobles refused.

from the doorway of the house of Eliashib

Meremoth son of Uriah, already at work in verse 4, repairs a second section here. Gill reads such second sections as the work of crews who finished one stretch and took on another, as the Tekoites do at verse 27. This stretch runs the length of the high priest's house.

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.
