even before the dragon well-that is, fountain on the opposite side of the valley.

and to the dung port-the gate on the east of the city, through which there ran a common sewer to the brook Kedron and the valley of Hinnom.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

2:9-18 When Nehemiah had considered the matter, he told the Jews that God had put it into his heart to build the wall of Jerusalem. He does not undertake to do it without them. By stirring up ourselves and one another to that which is good, we strengthen ourselves and one another for it. We are weak in our duty, when we are cold and careless.
