Next to him Shallum the son of Hallohesh, the official of half the district of Jerusalem, made repairs, he and his daughters.Interesting that it only mentions the official's daughters, not his sons. Does he not have any sons, to whom he will pass on his district? Is he "cursed" to only have daughters, and no one to carry on his family line?
Or are his sons not supportive of the rebuilding? Are they concerned that this effort will jeopardize their father's position? Are they worried that this change will mess up their plans? Or are they just lazy, and don't think the effort is worth it?
