About Zabbai
Zabbai, the son of Baruch, is mentioned in the account of the rebuilding of Jerusalem's wall under Nehemiah's leadership. He is listed among the people who worked on repairing the wall after the Babylonian exile. Zabbai repaired a section of the wall, specifically the second section from the house of Eliashib the high priest. His participation in the wall's restoration demonstrates the community-wide effort to rebuild and fortify Jerusalem after the return from exile.
