Nechemyah 3:25 Meaning and Commentary

Nehemiah 3:25

Palal the son of Uzai, over against the turning of the wall,
&c.] Who dwelt there, and so repaired what was right against him:

and the tower which lieth out from the king's high house:
which might be built for prospect, or his upper house:

that was by the court of the prison;
and we often read in Jeremiah of the court of the prison being in or near the king's house, see ( Jeremiah 32:2 ) ,

after him Pedaiah the son of Parosh;
went on from hence with the repair.
