John Trapp on Nehemiah 3:15

Verſe 15. He built it, and covered it] A Chaldee word. This people in their captivity, though they had not loſt the uſe of their native tongue, yet they had got a tincture of the Chaldee; and of the Hebrew and Chaldee came the Syriack, the mother-tongue in Chriſts time, as appears by Talitha kumi, and other-like paſſages.

And unto the ſtairs] By theſe David deſcended into the lower City; and, ſuitours aſcended to his Palace. This is allegorically applyed by ſome to Chriſt (the true Jacobs ladder, John 1 ult.) who came down and humbled himſelf to the utmoſt; that we by him might have acceſſe, with ſucceſſe, in all our ſuits.
