Nehemiah 3:5-7
International Standard Version
5 Next to them the Tekoites worked valiantly, even though their leading officials weren’t fully dedicated[a] to the work of their lord.[b]
6 Paseah’s son Joiada and Besodeiah’s son Meshullam repaired the Old Gate. They built its framework and installed its doors, including locks and security[c] bars. 7 Next to them, Melatiah the Gibeonite and Jadon the Meronothite were working with men from Gibeon and men from Mizpah under the Trans-Euphrates[d] regional governor.
