And next unto them repaired Meremoth, the son of Uriah, the son of Koz,.... And the men under him; see Ezr 8:33, this part of the wall on which they worked was not wholly demolished, only weakened, and therefore did not rebuild it, but repaired and strengthened it, and this phrase is used all along afterwards:
and next unto them repaired Meshullam, the sort of Berechiah, the son of Meshezabeel: and next unto them repaired Zadok, the son of Baana; but who they were cannot be said.

4. repaired] Literally ‘made strong.’ The word in the Hebrew is used of ‘calking’ a ship in Eze_27:9; Eze_27:27. In this chapter it is used of making good the defects and filling up the breaches in the wall. In Neh_3:19 the same verb is used with a different shade of meaning.
Meremoth the son of Uriah, the son of Koz] R.V. Meremoth the son of Uriah, the son of Hakkoz. The children of Hakkoz are mentioned in Ezr_2:61.

We hear of a further piece of restoration undertaken by this Meremoth in Neh_3:21.
Meshullam … Meshezabeel] R.V. Meshezabel. Meshullam the son of Berechiah appears from Neh_6:18 to have been one of the leading nobles, but, like Eliashib the high-priest, though he cooperated in the restoration of the walls, to have been also a close ally of Tobiah, whose son, Jehohanan, married Meshullam’s daughter. He was therefore probably opposed to Nehemiah in general policy.
The identity of name with one of the sons of Zerubbabel (1Ch_3:19) suggests the possibility that this noble was of David’s line and that connexion with the royal family may have been a successful piece in the diplomacy of Tobiah.
Zadok the son of Baana] This may be the same as the Baanah who came up with Zerubbabel (Ezr_2:2; Neh_7:7; Neh_10:27).
