Nehemiah 3:17
"After him repaired the Levites, Rehum the son of Bani. Next unto him repaired Hashabiah, the ruler of the half part of Keilah, in his part."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

After him repaired the Levites, Rehum the son of Bani,.... Who was one of them, as he that follows was another: next unto him repaired Hashabiah, the ruler of the

half part of Keilah: a city of the tribe of Judah, Jos 15:4 in his part; either with the men of that part of Keilah under his jurisdiction, or at the expense of that part of it.
