This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
The fish-gate; of which mention is made 2Ch_33:14 Neh_12:39 Zep_1:10; so called, either from the fish-market, which was near it; or because the fish was brought in by it from the sea, Neh_13:16; this gate being north-westward from Jerusalem.
The locks thereof, and the bars thereof: this is either here related by anticipation, the whole work being here mentioned together, though this part was not done till afterwards, Neh_6:1 7:1; or this was done to some of the gates, but not to all; and therefore this is said to be done more completely and universally afterwards.
