Et chorus secundus gratias referentium ibat ex adverso, et ego post eum, et media pars populi super murum, et super turrim furnorum, et usque ad murum latissimum,
Processerunt per gradus civitatis David in ascensu muri super domum David et usque ad portam Aquarum ad orientem.
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.
