John Gill, on Neh 3:9
John Gill · 1697–1771
Neh 3:9 · Douay-Rheims
“And next to him built Raphaia the son of Hur, lord of the street of Jerusalem.”
On this verse:
“And next unto them repaired Rephaiah, the son of Hur, the ruler of the half part of Jerusalem. That city belonging partly to the tribe of Judah, and partly to the tribe of Benjamin; one part of it was under a governor that was of the tribe of Judah, as this man seems to be; and the other part under one of the tribe of Benjamin; see Neh 3:12. . Nehemiah 3:10 neh 3:10 neh 3:10 neh 3:10And next unto him repaired Jedaiah, the son of Harumaph, over against his house,.... That part of the wall which stood right against his house; and to take this part he could not well object to it, and it might be reasonably thought he would take care to repair it well, and make it strong for his own safety: and next unto him repaired Hattush, the son of Hashabniah; but who he was is not known.”
