Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
Binnui: Nehemiah 10:9
another piece: That which had been left by Azariah, after he had repaired the wall by his own house. It is probable that some of the principal people were either obliged, or voluntarily offered, to repair those parts of the wall which were opposite, or adjacent, to their own houses. The names of those who repaired the walls are commemorated, because it was an undertaking of piety, virtue, and courage, to restore the holy city. Nehemiah 3:11, Nehemiah 3:19, Nehemiah 3:27
the turning: Nehemiah 3:20
Reciprocal: 2 Chronicles 26:9 - the turning
Gill's Notes on the Bible
After him repaired Binnui the son of Henadad, another piece..... Beginning where Azariah ended:
unto the turning of the wall, even unto the corner; the corner where the wall turned from the south to the east.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The constant mention of âpriests,â âLevites,â and Nethinims,â sufficiently indicates that the writer is here concerned with the sacerdotal quarter, that immediately about the temple.
Nehemiah 3:18
Bavai - Or, âBinnuiâ Nehemiah 3:24; Nehemiah 10:9.
The armoury at the turning of the wall - literally, âthe armoury of the corner.â The northwestern corner of the special wall of the âcity of Davidâ seems to be intended. See Nehemiah 3:1 note.
Nehemiah 3:20
The other piece - Rather, âanother piece.â The notice of Baruchâs first piece, like that of Malchijahâs and Hashubâs Nehemiah 3:11, seems to have slipped out of the text.
Nehemiah 3:22
The word here translated âplainâ is applied in the rest of Scripture almost exclusively to the Ghor or Jordan valley. Compare, however, Nehemiah 12:28.
Nehemiah 3:24
The turning of the wall - The northeastern angle of the âcity of Davidâ seems here to be reached. At this point a tower âlay outâ Nehemiah 3:25, or projected extraordinarily, from the wall, being probably a watch-tower commanding the Kidron valley and all the approaches to the city from the southeast, the east, and the northeast.
Nehemiah 3:25
The âkingâs high houseâ is almost certainly the old palace of David, which was on the temple hill, and probably occupied a position directly north of the temple.
That was by the court of the prison - Prisons were in old times adjuncts of palaces. The palace of David must have had its prison; and the âprison gateâ Nehemiah 12:39 was clearly in this quarter.
Nehemiah 3:26
The marginal reading is better. On the Nethinims see 1 Chronicles 9:2 note.
Ophel was the slope south of the temple (see the marginal reference âyâ note); and the water-gate, a gate in the eastern wall, either for the escape of the superfluous water from the temple reservoirs, or for the introduction of water from the Kidron valley when the reservoirs were low.
Nehemiah 3:27
The foundations of an outlying tower near the southeast angle of the temple area in this position have been recently discovered.
Nehemiah 3:28
âThe horse gateâ was on the east side of the city, overlooking the Kidron valley. It seems to have been a gate by which horses approached and left the old palace, that of David, which lay north of the temple Nehemiah 3:25.
