Nehemiah 3:8-9 King James Version (KJV)
8 Next unto him repaired Uzziel the son of Harhaiah, of the goldsmiths. Next unto him also repaired Hananiah the son of one of the apothecaries, and they fortified Jerusalem unto the broad wall.
9 And next unto them repaired Rephaiah the son of Hur, the ruler of the half part of Jerusalem.

Nehemiah 3:8-9 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

8 After him Uzziel son of Harhaiah, the goldsmith,made repairs, and next to him Hananiah son of the perfumer made repairs. They restored Jerusalem as far as the Broad Wall.
9 Next to them Rephaiah son of Hur, ruler over half the district of Jerusalem, made repairs.

These are my thoughts, please share yours.

8 These would be working on the gold because they were gold smiths, God often will use our talents to serve Him. They had one work there who was a doctor, he might be used to help people when they get exhausted or hurt but he still wanted his part in building the wall. We should want our part to serve the Lord because He has a part for us to do.

9 So the ruler gets involved in the building this wall would keep his ruling safe from outside attacks, do we set up walls in our lives to where we are safe in a place with us and God, satan still will attack but the walls help us defend.
