John Gill, on Neh 3:15

John Gill · 1697–1771
Neh 3:15 · Douay-Rheims
“And the gate of the fountain Sellum the son of Cholhoza built, lord of the street of Maspha: he built it, and covered it, and set up the doors thereof, and the locks, and the bare, and the walls of the pool of Siloe unto the king’s guard, and unto the steps that go down from the city of David.”
On this verse:
“After him repaired Nehemiah the son of Azbuk, the ruler of the half part of Bethzur. A strong fortified place in the tribe of Judah, Jos 15:58, unto the place over against the sepulchres of David; where he and his family, and the kings of his race, were buried, which remained to this time untouched by the Babylonians, and to many ages after; see Act 2:29 and to the pool that was made; not a natural, but an artificial one, which was made by Hezekiah, Kg2 20:20, and unto the house of the mighty; where was a garrison of soldiers in former time for defence.”
