Gill's Notes on the Bible
Yea, also I continued in the work of this wall,.... Of building the wall of Jerusalem; here he gave his constant attendance to direct and encourage the workmen, and see that they kept to their work, and did it well:
neither bought we any land; neither he nor the principal men with him, though they could have bought it cheap, but they chose not to take the advantage of the poverty of the people:
and all my servants were gathered thither unto the work: all were employed in it, taking no wages for their work, being maintained at his expense.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
I continued ... land - i. e. - “I took my share in the work of the wall, as general superintendent. I did not take advantage of the general poverty to buy poor men’s plots of ground.”
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 16. Neither bought we any land — Neither he nor his officers took any advantage of the necessities of the people, to buy their lands, &c. He even made his own servants to work at the wall.
