Zadok, the son of Immer, is recorded as one of the individuals who participated in repairing Jerusalem's wall during Nehemiah's rebuilding project. He is specifically mentioned as having made repairs opposite his house. This detail suggests that Zadok lived in Jerusalem and had a personal stake in the city's restoration. His contribution to the wall's repair highlights the community-wide involvement in the rebuilding efforts led by Nehemiah after the Babylonian exile.
