John Gill, on Neh 3:11

“Melchias the son of Herem, and Hasub the son of Phahath Moab, built half the street, and the tower of the furnaces.”

“And next unto him repaired Shallum, the son of Hallohesh,.... So called, as Ben Melech says, from his being an enchanter of serpents, or a wise prudent counsellor: the ruler of the half part of Jerusalem; of the other half; see Neh 3:9 he and his daughters; who were rich widows or heiresses, and employed men to build at their own expense; he seems to have had no sons.”
