Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
the fountain gate: Nehemiah 2:14, Nehemiah 3:15, Nehemiah 3:16
the stairs: Jerusalem was built on very uneven ground, some hills being enclosed within the walls, there was a necessity, therefore, for steps, by which to ascend and descend; probably similar to what is seen in the city of Bristol. Nehemiah 3:15, 2 Samuel 5:7-9
water gate: Nehemiah 3:26, Nehemiah 8:1, Nehemiah 8:3, Nehemiah 8:16
Gill's Notes on the Bible
And at the fountain gate, which was over against them,.... Of which see Nehemiah 2:14 and which was to the south of the dung gate:
they went up; that is, one of the two companies, that which took to the right on the wall, Nehemiah 12:31 with which these words are to be connected:
by the stairs of the city of David; which went up to the city of Zion, built on an eminence:
at the going up of the wall, above the house of David; where the wall was higher, and there was an ascent to it:
even unto the water gate eastward; of which see Nehemiah 3:26 turning from the south to the east, and so drew nigh the temple.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Above the house of David - This choir or procession went above (or beyond) the old palace of David, following the line described in Nehemiah 3:16-26, on their way to the eastern wall.
