Gill's Notes on the Bible
Malchijah the son of Harim, and Hashub the son of Pahathmoab,.... The fathers of these were heads of families that came out of captivity with Zerubbabel, Ezra 2:6
repaired the other piece: or second piece, below and next to that which Hattush repaired, the last builder mentioned:
and the tower of the furnaces; near to which were furnaces for the baking of bread, or of bricks.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The other piece - Rather, âanother pieceâ (as in Nehemiah 3:19, Nehemiah 3:21, Nehemiah 3:27, Nehemiah 3:30). It is conjectured that a verse has fallen out in which Malchijahâs and Hashubâs âfirst pieceâ was mentioned.
The tower of the furnaces - Either a tower at the northwestern angle of the city; or, midway in the western wall. The origin of the name is uncertain.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Nehemiah 3:11. Repaired the other piece — That which was left by Jedaiah after he had repaired the wall opposite to his own house. Probably some of the principal people were obliged to repair those parts of the wall opposite to their own dwellings. Perhaps this was the case generally.
