Palal the son of Uzai, over against the turning of the wall,.... Who dwelt there, and so repaired what was right against him:
and the tower which lieth out from the king's high house: which might be built for prospect, or his upper house:
that was by the court of the prison; and we often read in Jeremiah of the court of the prison being in or near the king's house, see
after him Pedaiah the son of Parosh; went on from hence with the repair.
