And next unto them repaired Rephaiah the son of Hur, the ruler of the half part of Jerusalem.
Rephaiah the son of Hur was the ruler of half of Jerusalem and repaired a section of the city wall next to the other builders. His labor was part of the general rebuilding that came after Nehemiah surveyed the ruined defenses of Jerusalem. The work therefore joined civic leadership to hands-on restoration in the aftermath of that inspection.
