(KJV “Tower of Meah”) A tower located on the north wall of Jerusalem which was restored by Nehemiah (Nehemiah 3:1; Nehemiah 12:39 ). The name perhaps refers to the height of the tower (100 cubits?), the number of its steps, or the number of troops in its garrison. It may have been part of the Temple fortress (Nehemiah 2:8 ).
