Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
the Gibeonite: Joshua 9:3-27, 2 Samuel 21:2
Mizpah: Nehemiah 3:19, 2 Chronicles 16:6
the throne: That is, probably, the palace of the Persian governor, west of the Euphrates; the term throne being used to signify any royal abode: for Sir J. Chardin, describing a splendid tent erected by the king of Persia, says "that there was an inscription wrought upon the cornice of the anti-chamber, which gave it the appellation of the throne of the second Solomon." Sitting upon a throne has, however, sometimes been granted to governors. Nehemiah 2:8
Reciprocal: Nehemiah 3:15 - Mizpah

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And next unto them repaired Melatiah the Gibeonite, and Jadon the Meronothite, the men of Gibeon and Mizpah,.... Which places were both in the tribe of Benjamin, Joshua 18:25 and one of these men was of the one place, and the other of the other:
unto the throne of the governor on this side the river; where the governor of those parts under the king of Persia had his seat, and now Nehemiah; but, according to Aben Ezra, Cisse, rendered "throne", is the name of a man who was the governor.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Unto the throne ... - The meaning is thought to be âthe men of Gibeon and Mizpah, who, though they worked for Nehemiah, were not under his government, but belonged to the jurisdiction of the governor on this side the river.â
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Nehemiah 3:7. The throne of the governor — His house, and the place where he dispensed justice and judgment. Previously to the days of Nehemiah, Jerusalem was governed by a deputy from the Persian king; (see Nehemiah 5:15;) but after this time they were governed by governors and judges chosen from among themselves.
