About Bavvai
An individual who managed the repair of a section of the Jerusalem wall under Nehemiah’s supervision (Nehemiah 3:18). Bavvai was Henadad’s son and the leader of half the district of Keilah, a town 17 miles, or 27.4 kilometers southwest of Jerusalem. Binnui (Nehemiah 3:24), who is also mentioned as Henadad’s son (compare Ezra 3:9), might be a mistaken spelling of Bavvai, or the two may have been brothers.
