Neh. 3:6• 6Moreover the old gate repaired Jehoiada the son of Paseah, and Meshullam the son of Besodeiah; they laid the beams thereof, and set up the doors thereof, and the locks thereof, and the bars thereof. (Neh. 3:6)

Neh. 11:16• 16And Shabbethai and Jozabad, of the chief of the Levites, had the oversight of the outward business of the house of God. (Neh. 11:16)
• Unanimity is not required in such matters; the assembly of God is not a democracy. Perhaps it seemed unnecessarily harsh to these men, as it may even to us — though Meshullam appears to have had a personal motive (see v. 29). However, God’s thoughts are higher than our thoughts (Isa. 55:9) and “the foolishness of God is wiser than men”(1 Cor. 1:25). Blessing can only come when we do things God’s way — no matter how foreign it may feel to human nature. It is good to see that these men, Meshullam included, ultimately appear to have submitted to the decision of that assemblage (Ezra 10:29; Neh. 8:7; 11:16). (“Hope in Israel - Ezra 10:1-4” by N. Simon)
• It is not clear whether those named in verse 15 were not rather opposing the suggestion of the people. One translation gives, "Stood up against this matter." Certainly Ezra and the chief of the fathers did the work [v. 16]. (“The Book of Ezra: Restoration From Babylon: Ezra 10” by E. Dennett)
