The valley gate (a figure of humility) was right next to Herod's Palace. Think of the humble man, the Lord Jesus, standing there silently facing the proud Herod. Who valued the meaning of that gate? Notice that Herod is only mentioned in Luke's gospel, the gospel of the Son of Man. In Nehemiah’s day, Hanun repaired a broken-down wall there. Interestingly Scripture records the length of the wall that Hanun repaired—the only stretch of wall the Spirit of God measures. When we aren’t busy measuring ourselves and how we stack up to others, the Lord takes care of that for us.
