Nehemiah3:9
9 And next unto them repaired Rephajah the son of Hur, the ruler of the half part of Jerusalem .
As Rome was anciently divided into several quarters or Regions, so was Ierusalem, and especially this was divided into two parts, whereof one was in the Tribe of Benjamin, and nearest to the Temple, the other in the Tribe of Judah, and more remote from it: which accordingly had two several Rulers, this man and the other, v. 12. but both under the chief Governour of the City.
