Nehemiah 3:10 Meaning and Commentary

Nehemiah 3:10

And next unto him repaired Jedaiah, the son of Harumaph,
over against his house
That part of the wall which stood right against his house; and to take this part he could not well object to it, and it might be reasonably thought he would take care to repair it well, and make it strong for his own safety:

and next unto him repaired Hattush, the son of Hashabniah;
but who he was is not known.
