Unto the turning of the wall] Namely, from the south side to the east; which turning came with the corner inwards into the city, according to the natural situation of the rock and the valley.

Ellicott's Commentary on Nehemiah 3:24

(24) Unto the corner.—The north-eastern angle of the “city of David.”

Cambridge Bible on Nehemiah 3:24

24. Binnui the son of Henadad another piece] R.V. portion. In all probability the same as ‘Bavvai the son of Henadad’ mentioned in Nehemiah 3:18. ‘Binnui’ is mentioned in Nehemiah 10:9 as one of the Levites. We have either to suppose that ‘Bavvai’ in Nehemiah 3:18 is a corruption for Binnui, or as some have held, that Binnui is the name of the Levitical house of which Bavvai was the chief representative. Of these alternatives the former is preferable. For (1) the reading in Nehemiah 3:18 is doubtful; (2) the names in these verses are clearly those of priests and Levites; (3) ‘Binnui’ is mentioned in Nehemiah 10:9 as a leading Levite. He may very well have assisted in one portion of the restoration as a leading citizen of Keilah, in another as a chief Levite. even unto the corner] R.V. and unto the corner.
