Nehemiah 3:1-16
1 The names and order of them that built the wall. Eliashib.12:10; 13:28the sheep gate.This gate is supposed to have immediately communicated with the temple, and to have been called the sheep gate, because the sheep intended for sacrifice passed through it. But, after all which learned men have written on this subject, which is but of little interest, we scarcely know any thing about these gates: what they were, why called by these names, or in what part of the wall they were situated, beyond what may be learned from the parallel passages. 12:39; Joh 5:2sanctified it.12:30; De 20:5; Ps 30:1; *titlePr 3:6,9the tower.12:39; Jer 31:38; Zec 14:10 next unto him.

Chardin, describing a splendid tent erected by the king of Persia, says "that there was an inscription wrought upon the cornice of the anti-chamber, which gave it the appellation of the throne of the second Solomon." Sitting upon a throne has, however, sometimes been granted to governors. 2:8 the goldsmiths.31,32; Isa 46:6of the apothecaries.Ge 50:2; Ex 30:25; Ec 10:1fortified. or, left. the broad wall.12:38 the ruler.12,17 even.23,28-30Hattush.10:4 Harim.10:5Pahath-moab.7:11; 10:14; Ezr 2:6; 8:4other piece.

Dr. Pococke conjectures that the Mountain of the Franks, called also the Mount of Bethulia, from a village of that name near it, west-north-west of Tekoa, is the ancient Beth-haccerem; the position of which seems to agree with the citadel of Herodium, built by Herod, on a moderate-sized hill, sixty furlongs from Jerusalem.

Dr. Richardson represents the pool of Siloam as occurring higher up the valley of Jehoshaphat, towards the north, than the well of Nehemiah, a little beyond the village of Siloa, and nearly opposite the tombs of Jehoshaphat and Zechariah.
