Nehemiah 3:27

Ophel

25 and Palal son of Uzai made repairs opposite the angle and the tower that juts out from the upper palace of the king near the courtyard of the guard. Next to him, Pedaiah son of Parosh

26 and the temple servants living on the hill of Ophel made repairs opposite the Water Gate toward the east and the tower that juts out.

And next to them, the Tekoites repaired another section, from a point opposite the great tower that juts out to the wall of Ophel.

28 Above the Horse Gate, each of the priests made repairs in front of his own house.

29 Next to them, Zadok son of Immer made repairs opposite his house, and next to him, Shemaiah son of Shecaniah, the guard of the East Gate, made repairs.
