Charles Ellicott Commentary Nehemiah 11:14

"and their brethren, mighty men of valor, a hundred twenty and eight; and their overseer was Zabdiel, the son of Haggedolim." — Nehemiah 11:14 (ASV)

Of valour. —Capable of service in God’s house: men of ability, therefore.

The son of one of the great men. —Rather, son of Haggedolim.
