Rashi, 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.”

“opposite the ascent to the armory opposite the place where the mighty men would ascend to the weapons. According to the simple interpretation of the verse, it appears that there was a place near the wall where the mighty men kept their weapons, as it is stated: (II Kings 10:2) “...and cities (sic) of fortification and arms.” at the corner at the corner of the wall.”
