TSK - NEHEMIAH 3

  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.

   * 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.

- Beth-haccerem.
  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.

  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.

  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.

   * :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.
