Gill's Notes on the Bible
After him repaired Nehemiah the son of Azbuk, the ruler of the half part of Bethzur. A strong fortified place in the tribe of Judah,
Joshua 15:58,
unto the place over against the sepulchres of David; where he and his family, and the kings of his race, were buried, which remained to this time untouched by the Babylonians, and to many ages after; see Acts 2:29
and to the pool that was made; not a natural, but an artificial one, which was made by Hezekiah, 2 Kings 20:20,
and unto the house of the mighty; where was a garrison of soldiers in former time for defence.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Beth-zur - Now Beit-sur, on the road from Jerusalem to Hebron Joshua 15:58.
By “the sepulchres of David” must be understood the burial place in which David and the kings his descendants to the time of Hezekiah were interred. This was an excavation in the rock, in the near vicinity of the temple Ezekiel 43:7-9, and on its western side. The position of the burial-place was well known until the destruction of the city by Titus; but modern research has not yet discovered it.
The pool - Probably that made by Hezekiah in the Tyropoeon valley, west of the temple area (marginal reference).
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 16. The pool that was made — Calmet supposes that this was the reservoir made by Hezekiah, when besieged by Sennacherib, 2 Chronicles 32:4.
The house of the mighty. — Probably a place where a band of soldiers was kept, or the city guard.
