Charles Ellicott Commentary Nehemiah 3:6

"And the old gate repaired Joiada the son of Paseah and Meshullam the son of Besodeiah; they laid the beams thereof, and set up the doors thereof, and the bolts thereof, and the bars thereof." — Nehemiah 3:6 (ASV)

The old gate. —Not mentioned elsewhere: probably that of Damascus; but (by a conjectural addition to the text) it has been translated the gate of the old wall, as if distinguished from “the broad wall.”
