SCRIPTURE

"Palal the son of Uzai [repaired] over against the turning [of the wall], and the tower that standeth out from the upper house of the king, which is by the court of the guard. After him Pedaiah the son of Parosh [repaired]." — Nehemiah 3:25 (ASV)

Palal the son of Uzai, over against the turning of the wall , &c.] Who dwelt there, and so repaired what was right against him:

and the tower which lies out from the king's high house : which might be built for prospect, or his upper house:

that was by the court of the prison ; and we often read in Jeremiah of the court of the prison being in or near the king's house, see (Jeremiah 32:2) ,

after him Pedaiah the son of Parosh ; went on hence with the repair.
