Nehemiah

Nehemiah 3:16–18

16Beyond him, Nehemiah son of Azbuk, ruler of a half-district of Beth-zur, made repairs up to a point opposite the tombs of David, as far as the artificial pool and the House of the Mighty.

17Next to him, the Levites made repairs under Rehum son of Bani, and next to him, Hashabiah, ruler of a half-district of Keilah, made repairs for his district. 18Next to him, their countrymen made repairs under Binnuig son of Henadad, ruler of the other half-district of Keilah.
