1Then Eliashib the high priest rose up with his brothers the priests and built the Sheep Gate. They consecrated it and set up its doors; and they consecrated the wall [westward] to the Tower of the Hundred, as far as the Tower of Hananel. Next to Eliashib the men of Jericho built, and next to them Zaccur the son of Imri built. 3Now the sons of Hassenaah built the Fish Gate; they laid its beams and set up its doors with its bolts and its bars. 4Next to them Meremoth the son of Uriah, the son of Hakkoz, made repairs.
