He put up the higher doorway of the house of the Lord, and did much building on the wall of the Ophel.

After this he made an outer wall for the town of David, on the west side of Gihon in the valley, as far as the way into the town by the fish doorway; and he put a very high wall round the Ophel; and he put captains of the army in all the walled towns of Judah.

(Now the Nethinim were living in the Ophel, as far as the place facing the water doorway to the east, and the tower which comes out.)

After him the Tekoites were making good another part, opposite the great tower which comes out, and up to the wall of the Ophel.

But the Nethinim were living in the Ophel; and Ziha and Gishpa were over the Nethinim.

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.
