And after him.<\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n the keeper of the east gate<\/em> ] This has sometimes been identified with ‘the water gate’ of Neh 3:26<\/em><\/span>. But it is very improbable that, in a topographical chapter such as this, the same gate should be mentioned by two different names without any word of explanation.<\/p>\n Considering that the previous name is that of a priest, it is natural to suppose that Shemaiah, ‘the keeper of the east gate,’ was a Levite, and the east gate was the eastern approach to the Temple precincts.<\/p>\n To wit, of the city, or of the temple; which being the chief gate, was committed to his particular care and custody. <\/P> <\/p>\n After them repaired Zadok the son of Immer, over against his house<\/strong>,…. After the last of the priests, this begun where they ended, and repaired as far as his house reached; and being, perhaps, a person of some note, his house might be a large one:<\/p>\n after him repaired also Shemaiah, the son of Shechaniah, the keeper of the east gate<\/strong>; that is, of the temple; for the gates of the city having been burnt so long, it cannot be thought there should be a keeper of any of them.<\/p>\n (29) Shemaiah the son of Shechaniah.<\/strong>The name in 1Ch. 3:22<\/span> of a descendant of David.<\/p>\n 29<\/strong>. <\/strong> Keeper of the east gate <\/strong> This does not imply that the east gate <\/em> was anywhere near the wall which Shemaiah repaired. The expression naturally designates some gate in the eastern wall of the city.<\/p>\n ‘After them repaired Zadok the son of Immer over against his own house.’<\/p>\n The next section was repaired by Zadok the son of Immer and his household, adjacent to his own house. Contrast Neh 3:4<\/span> c where Zadok the son of Baana had been involved. Being a ‘son of Immer’ may indicate his priestly descent.<\/p>\n Immer was the name of one of priestly courses in the time of David (1Ch 24:14<\/span> compare Neh 7:40<\/span>; Ezr 2:37<\/span>). ‘Sons of Immer’ had married idolatrous foreign wives (Ezr 10:20<\/span>). See also Neh 11:13<\/span>. In all these cases priestly descent was involved.<\/p>\n Neh 3:29<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n ‘And after him repaired Shemaiah the son of Shecaniah, the keeper of the east gate.’<\/p>\n The next section was repaired by ‘Shemaiah the son of Shecaniah, the keeper of the east gate.’ This was probably the east gate in the Temple, indicating that Shemaiah was a prominent Levite and a temple gate-keeper. This distinguishes him from the Shemaiah, son of Shechaniah, who was a post-exilic Davidide (1Ch 3:22<\/span>).<\/p>\n Neh 3:29 After them repaired Zadok the son of Immer over against his house.
