V.14 The dung gate! Paul said “I count all things but loss ... and do count them but dung that I may win Christ.” All that seems so valuable is only dung and worthless compared with Christ. Malchiah put locks and bars on that gate.
V.23 Here two men repaired “over against their house.” It is one thing to tell someone else that they ought to be faithful and separate, but it is another thing to apply it to our own family.
V.30 “Over against his chamber.” This is the most personal of all. Not telling others what to do, nor even this time his own house or family, but his own chamber right where he lived.
V.32 Right where we started. The wall is completed, and now the people of God are inside and the enemy is outside.
