Matthew Poole and continuators on Nehemiah 3:27

27 After them the Tekoites repaired another piece, over against the great tower that lieth out, even unto the wall of Ophel.

The same spoken of before, v. 5. who having dispatched their first share sooner than their Brethren had done theirs, freely offered their help to supply the defects of others, who, as it seems, neglected that part of the work which had been committed to them. And this their double diligence is noted both for the greater shame of their Nobles, who would not do any part of it, v. 5. and for their own greater honour who were so far from being corrupted by the bad Example of their Nobles, that they were rather quickened and enflamed to greater Zeal and Industry in this publick and pious work.
