Gill's Notes on the Bible
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.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The people of each provincial town were set to work for the most part on the portion of the wall nearest their city. Thus, “the men of Jericho,” were employed at the northeast corner of Jerusalem.
