Nehemiah 3:17-22

The *Levites also helped to build the wall. They and some priests worked on the wall near to the house of the chief priest.

Men from Keilah and their rulers worked together on part of the wall. And Ezer was another ruler who helped.

Clearly, all the people worked hard. They finished the work in 52 days (Nehemiah 6:15). But Nehemiah recorded that Baruch worked very hard. Meremoth probably worked very hard too, because he worked on two parts of the wall (Nehemiah 3:4).

v23 Beyond the priests, Benjamin and Hashub repaired the wall opposite their house. Next to them, Azariah, the son of Maaseiah and the grandson of Ananiah, repaired the wall near his own house. v24 Binnui, the son of Henadad, repaired the next section of the wall. He repaired it from Azariah’s house to the bend in the wall and the corner. v25-26 Palal, the son of Uzai, repaired from the bend and the *tower that stuck out from the king’s high palace. This house was near the guards’ yard. Next to Palal, Pedaiah, the son of Parosh, and the *temple servants who lived in Ophel repaired the wall. They repaired it as far as a point opposite the Water Gate on the east side. And they repaired it as far as the *tower that stuck out. v27 Next to Pedaiah, the men from Tekoa repaired another part of the wall. This section began at a place opposite the large *tower that stuck out. They repaired it as far as the wall of Ophel. v28 Some priests repaired the wall from a point above the Horse Gate. Each priest repaired the part of the wall in front of his own house. v29 Next to them, Zadok, the son of Immer, repaired the part of the wall in front of his house. Next to him, Shemaiah, the son of Shechaniah, repaired another part of the wall. Shemaiah was the guard of the East Gate.
