Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 17. - And they which bare burdens, with those that laded. Rather, "both they which bare burdens, as they laded." The builders, or those engaged upon the work, are divided into two classes - (1) actual builders, and (2) those who carried the materials. Of these, the latter did their work with one hand, while in their other hand they held a weapon; the former needed both hands for their employment, but even these wore swords in theft girdles.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(17) They which builded.--Divided into masons and their burden-bearers. The latter held in one hand a weapon; the former built with both hands, and had their weapons at their side.
