‘After him repaired their brothers, Bavvai the son of Henadad, the ruler of half the district of Keilah.'

The next section of the wall was repaired by ‘their brothers', that is the remainder of the men of Keilah, under Bavvai the son of Henadad, ruler of the half district of Keilah. It may well have been his brother Binnui and his household who repaired the wall further on (Nehemiah 3:24).

Henadad was a Levite family name (Ezra 3:9). Binnui of the sons of Henadad signed Nehemiah's covenant (Nehemiah 10:9).
