the Tower of the Hundred, a tower on Jerusalem's wall
A proper designation for a tower on Jerusalem's northern wall, called 'the Hundred' (perhaps from its height, capacity, or position). Nehemiah mentions it twice in describing the wall reconstruction—3:1 (where the priests built it) and 12:39 (in the dedication procession route). The tower stood near the Sheep Gate and the Tower of Hananel, marking a strategic point in the city's defenses.

1. sense 1 — The proper name of a specific tower in Jerusalem's wall system, literally 'the Tower of the Hundred.' Appears in Nehemiah 3:1 and 12:39, both relating to the post-exilic wall rebuilding. The tower was located on the northern wall, near the Sheep Gate and Tower of Hananel. The name 'Hundred' likely refers to some measurement—possibly 100 cubits in height or dimension, or a garrison of 100 soldiers—though the exact reference is uncertain. 2×
