Nehemiah 3:2 Meaning and Commentary

Nehemiah 3:2

And next unto him builded the men of Jericho
The posterity of those that formerly inhabited that city; these began where Eliashib and the priests ended, and went on from thence:

and next to them;
or rather "to him", the high priest:

builded Zaccur the son of Imri;
who probably was the chief of the men of Jericho.
