Exegesis
The first clause centers on the verb banah {בָּנָה | bānāh} ‘built’ followed by a definite direct object: ʾeṯ-šaʿar {אֶת־שַׁ֥עַר | ʾeṯ-šaʿar} ‘(the) gate’, further specified by the construct chain bêt-Yə-hō-wāh {בֵּית־יְהוָה | bêt-Yə-hō-wāh} ‘house of the LORD’ and the attributive adjective hā-ʿelyōn {הָעֶלְיֹון | hā-ʿelyōn} ‘the upper’, which marks the gate’s distinguished position.
Repetition of banah {בָּנָה | bānāh} creates parallelism between temple access (the gate) and city defense (the wall).
