the sheep gate . This gate is supposed to have immediately communicated with the temple , and to have been called the sheep gate , because the sheep intended for sacrifice passed through it. But , after all which learned men have written on this subject , which is but of little interest , we scarcely know anything about these gates . what they were , why called by these names , or in what part of the wall they were situated , beyond what may be learned from the parallel passages.

the throne . That is , probably , the palace of the Persian governor , west of the Euphrates; the term throne being used to signify any royal abode . for Sir J. Chardin , describing a splendid tent erected by the king of Persia , says "that there was an inscription wrought upon the cornice of the anti-chamber , which gave it the appellation of the throne of the second Solomon." Sitting upon a throne has , however , sometimes been granted to governors. Nehemiah 2 . 8

Bethhaccerem . Beth-haccerem was a town of Judah , situated on a mountain , between Jerusalem and Tekoa , according to Jerome on Jer. 6. Dr. Pococke conjectures that the Mountain of the Franks , called also the Mount of Bethulia , from a village of that name near it , west-north-west of Tekoa , is the ancient Beth-haccerem; the position of which seems to agree with the citadel of Herodium , built by Herod , on a moderate-sized hill , sixty furlongs from Jerusalem.

Siloah . Siloah was situated under the eastern wall of Jerusalem , between that city and the brook Kedron , and is described by Chateaubriand as lying at the foot of Mount Zion. Dr. Richardson represents the pool of Siloam as occurring higher up the valley of Jehoshaphat , towards the north , than the well of Nehemiah , a little beyond the village of Siloa , and nearly opposite the tombs of Jehoshaphat and Zechariah.

another piece . That which had been left by Azariah , after he had repaired the wall by his own house. It is probable that some of the principal people were either obliged , or voluntarily offered , to repair those parts of the wall which were opposite , or adjacent , to their own houses. The names of those who repaired the walls are commemorated , because it was an undertaking of piety , virtue , and courage , to restore the holy city.

the goldsmiths . The word tzeraphim may denote smiths , or refiners , or persons that worked in metals of any kind; but it is generally understood of those who worked in gold. From the remotest period of the history of the Jews , they had artists in all the elegant and ornamental trades; and it appears that goldsmiths , apothecaries , and merchants were formed into companies in the time of Nehemiah.
