Nehemiah 3:14

But the dung gate repaired Malchiah the son of Rechab, the ruler of part of Bethhaccerem; he built it, and set up the doors thereof, the locks thereof, and the bars thereof.

Ver. 14. But the dung gate repaired Malchiah the son of Rechab] That is, of the noble family of the Rechabites. A ruler he was, and yet disdaineth not to repair the dung gate. All God's work is honourable. Angels are God's executioners, as at Sodom. Magistrates and ministers must do their utmost, by discipline and otherwise, to cause the false prophets (that filth) and the unclean spirit to pass out of the land, as by a dung gate, Zechariah 13:2. Every man must sweep his own door, that we may have a clean street.
