Gill's Notes on the Bible
For the merchants and sellers of all kind of ware,.... The Tyrians particularly, Nehemiah 13:16 lodged without Jerusalem once or twice; one sabbath day or two, not being able to get into the city, such strict watch and care being taken to keep the gates shut; this they did, hoping the Jews would come out to them and buy their goods, though they were not admitted to bring them within the city.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 20. So the merchants - lodged without Jerusalem — They exposed their wares for sale on the outside of the walls.
