5 And next unto them fortified the Tekoites: but the great men of them [a]put not their necks to the works of their lords.
6 And the gate of the (A)old fish pool fortified Jehoiada the son of Paseah, and Meshullam the son of Besodeiah: they laid the beams thereof, and set on the doors thereof, and the locks thereof, and the bars thereof.
7 Next unto them also fortified Melatiah the Gibeonite, and Jadon the Meronothite, men of Gibeon, and of Mizpah, unto the [b]throne of the Duke, which was beyond the River.
