Commentary on Nehemiah 12:29

Theological / Devotional

House of Gilgal. Heb. Bethhaggilgal, a town generally identified with the Gilgal of Joshua 15:7, about halfway between Jericho and Jordan (see on Joshua 15:7).

Geba and Azmaveth. See on Ezra 2:26, 24. All the towns mentioned in Neh. 12:28 and 29 were situated close to Jerusalem, and the singers, who built them, would accordingly be conveniently located for attending the Temple services.
