Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
the dung gate: Nehemiah 2:13, Nehemiah 12:31
the ruler: Nehemiah 3:9, Nehemiah 3:12, Nehemiah 3:15-18
Bethhaccerem: Beth-haccerem was a town of Judah, situated on a mountain, between Jerusalem and Tekoa, according to Jerome on Jer. 6. 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. Jeremiah 6:1
Reciprocal: Nehemiah 3:16 - the ruler

Gill's Notes on the Bible
But the dung gate repaired Malchiah the son of Rechab,.... If this was one of the Rechabites, they were forbid to build houses,
Jeremiah 35:7 but, perhaps, though they might not build private houses for themselves to dwell in, they might be employed in building walls and fortresses for public security; though it is more probable that this man was not of that family:
the ruler of part of Bethhaccerem; or of the tract of Bethhaccerem, a place between Tekoah and Jerusalem; see Jeremiah 6:1,
he built it, and set up the doors thereof; &c. as in Nehemiah 3:3.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 14. Beth-haccerem — A village or town in the tribe of Benjamin. See Jeremiah 6:1.
