Ophel in the Bible

It was he who built the upper gate of the house of Jehovah, and on the wall of Ophel he built much.

Now after this he built the outer wall of the city of David on the west side of Gihon, in the valley, even to the entrance of the Fish Gate; and he encircled the Ophel with it and made it very high. Then he put army commanders in all the fortified cities of Judah.

The temple servants living in Ophel made repairs as far as the front of the Water Gate toward the east and the projecting tower.

After them the Tekoites repaired another section in front of the great projecting tower and as far as the wall of Ophel.

But the Nethinims dwelt in Ophel: and Ziha and Gispa were over the Nethinims.

And you, O tower of the flock, Ophel of the daughter of Zion, to you it will come, even the earlier authority, the kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem.
