Adam Clarke, on Neh 3:19

“And next to him Aser the son of Josue, lord of Maspha, built another measure, over against the going up of the strong corner.”

“The going up to the armoury - This was either a tower that defended the angle where the two walls met; or the city arsenal, where shields, spears, etc., were kept to arm the people in time of danger.”
