Nehemiah 3:18
"After him repaired their brethren, Bavai the son of Henadad, the ruler of the half part of Keilah."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

After him repaired their brethren,.... Either the brethren of the two before named particularly, or the Levites their brethren in general, as Jarchi: Bavai, the son of Henadad, the ruler

of the half part of Keilah; the other half of that place.
