Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
the: Nehemiah 3:26, Nehemiah 3:31, 2 Chronicles 27:3
Ophel: or, the tower
Reciprocal: 1 Chronicles 9:2 - the Nethinims
Gill's Notes on the Bible
But the Nethinims dwelt in Ophel,.... An high place or tower on the wall of Jerusalem, see 2 Chronicles 27:3,
and Ziha, and Gispa, were over the Nethinims; had the oversight of them, and took care that they did their work; they were such themselves, but the principal of them, see Ezra 2:43.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Ophel, the southern spur of the temple hill, having a wall of its own Nehemiah 3:27 might be reckoned either in Jerusalem or outside it. Here it is made a separate place.
