“After them repaired Zadok the son of Immer over against his house. After him repaired also Shemaiah the son of Shechaniah, the keeper of the east gate.”
A section is repaired by "Zadok son of Immer, opposite his own house," again demonstrating the pattern of personal proximity to one's work and the consequent personal stake in its quality. The Zadok family is later mentioned as a significant priestly lineage, suggesting that prominent families took on visible roles in the reconstruction and used the opportunity to demonstrate their commitment to the community's restoration.
