Builders of the Wall

3 Eliashib^(A) the high priest and his fellow priests went to work and rebuilt^(B) the Sheep Gate.^(C) They dedicated it and set its doors in place, building as far as the Tower of the Hundred, which they dedicated, and as far as the Tower of Hananel.^(D)

²⁰ Next to him, Baruch son of Zabbai zealously repaired another section, from the angle to the entrance of the house of Eliashib the high priest.

²¹ Next to him, Meremoth^(A) son of Uriah, the son of Hakkoz, repaired another section, from the entrance of Eliashib’s house to the end of it.

⁴ Before this, Eliashib the priest had been put in charge of the storerooms^(A) of the house of our God. He was closely associated with Tobiah,^(B)

⁷ and came back to Jerusalem. Here I learned about the evil thing Eliashib^(A) had done in providing Tobiah^(B) a room in the courts of the house of God.

²⁸ One of the sons of Joiada son of Eliashib^(A) the high priest was son-in-law to Sanballat^(B) the Horonite. And I drove him away from me.
