Methodist 1832 · Commentary on the Whole Bible, Nehemiah 3:16

Adam Clarke, on Neh 3:16

Adam Clarke · 1762–1832
Neh 3:16 · Douay-Rheims
“After him built Nehemias the son of Azboc, lord of half the street of Bethsur, as far as over against the sepulchre of David, and to the pool, that was built with great labour, and to the house of the mighty.”
On this verse:
“The pool that was made - Calmet supposes that this was the reservoir made by Hezekiah, when besieged by Sennacherib, Ch2 32:4. The house of the mighty - Probably a place where a band of soldiers was kept, or the city guard.”
