Neh 3:9 · Douay-Rheims
“And next to him built Raphaia the son of Hur, lord of the street of Jerusalem.”
On this verse:
“Ruler of the half part of Jerusalem - Probably the city was divided into two parts; one for Judah, and the other for Benjamin, each having its proper governor. Rephaiah mentioned here was one of these governors, and Shallum, mentioned Neh 3:12, was the other. There were other rulers or governors of particular country or village districts.”
