What Does Nehemiah 3:19 Mean?
Ezer, who ruled Mizpah, took on "another piece" by the slope leading up to the armory, at a point where the wall changed direction. The armory was where weapons were stored.
Again the words "another piece" mark one who did more than his single share. He worked at a strategic, defensible angle near the city's arms. Those who give beyond the minimum, especially at the harder and more critical points, strengthen the whole work for everyone.
