Theological / DevotionalNehemiah the son of Azbuk. Not to be confused with the author of the book of Nehemiah.
Bethli-zur. A city that became famous in the time of the Maccabees, and now called Khirbet et-Tubeiqah. It lies about 4 mi. (6.4 km.) north of Hebron. American expeditions excavated it in 1931 and 1957.
The sepulchres of David. These tombs, situated within the city (2 Kings 2:10; 11:43; etc.), were still known in the time of the apostles (Acts 2:29), but a knowledge of their exact location has since been lost.
Pool that was made. An artificial pool, otherwise unknown.
House of the mighty. Location unknown. It must have been the military headquarters or the armory.
