Nehemiah 3:12-13 King James Version (KJV)
12 And next unto him repaired Shallum the son of Halohesh, the ruler of the half part of Jerusalem, he and his daughters.
13 The valley gate repaired Hanun, and the inhabitants of Zanoah; they built it, and set up the doors thereof, the locks thereof, and the bars thereof, and a thousand cubits on the wall unto the dung gate.
Nehemiah 3:12-13 Young's Literal Translation (YLT)
12 And by his hand hath Shallum son of Halohesh, head of the half of the district of Jerusalem, strengthened, he and his daughters.
13 The gate of the valley hath Hanun strengthened, and the inhabitants of Zanoah; they have built it, and set up its doors, its locks, and its bars, and a thousand cubits in the wall unto the dung-gate.
These are my thoughts, please share yours.
12 He most likely worked with his daughters because he did not have sons. This is a leader getting into the work this would encourage others to get involved because it showed them the importance of the work.
13 They from other places in Israel to build up the wall which meant this work was important. So they work on the two gates this would have taken time Zanoah would not be home for a long time and would make the most of their time in building the wall. We are to make most of our time in serving the Lord.
