- another piece:
- 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. "Malchijahª the sonª of Harim,ª and Hashubª the sonª of Pahathmoab,ª repairedª° the otherª piece,ª and the towerª of the furnaces.ª" {Neh 3:11} + "And next¹ to¹ him² repairedª° Ezerª the sonª of Jeshua,ª the rulerª of Mizpah,ª anotherª pieceª over against¹¹ the going upª° to the armouryª at the turningª [of the wall]." {Neh 3:19} + "Afterª them the Tekoitesª repairedª° anotherª piece,ª over against¹¹ the greatª towerª that lieth out,ª° even unto¹ the wallª of Ophel.ª" {Neh 3:27}
