What Does Nehemiah 3:27 Mean?
The men of Tekoa return to repair "another piece," this one opposite the great projecting tower and reaching to the Ophel wall. They had already built once, back in verse five.
Though their nobles had refused the work, the common Tekoites not only labored but came back for a second stretch. Their willingness shines all the brighter against their leaders' pride. God honors the steady, double-handed faithfulness of the humble, whatever those above them may do.
