John Gill, on Neh 12:35

“And his brethren Semeia, and Azareel Malalai, Galalai, Maai, Nathanael, and Judas, and Hanani, with the musical instruments of David the man of God: and Esdras the scribe before them at the fountain gate.”

“And the other company of them that gave thanks went over against them,.... On the left hand, on the northern part of the wall: and I after them; Nehemiah, he brought up the rear of his company, as Ezra led the van of his: and the half of the people upon the wall; the chief of them, for all could not walk upon it: from beyond the tower of the furnaces; where they baked their bread, or their bricks, see Neh 3:11, even unto the broad wall; where the wall was broader than common, for some reason or another, see Neh 3:8.”
