Who was Zadok the son of Immer?

Nehemiah 3:29 (ESV)

29 After them Zadok the son of Immer repaired opposite his own house. After him Shemaiah the son of Shecaniah, the keeper of the East Gate, repaired.

We know nothing about this man. Of interest is the fact that a man named Immer was among those listed in the first return of exiles now some seventy years ago (Ezra 2:37). Perhaps this Immer was Zadok’s (grand)father. It is said of Zadok simply that he repaired opposite his own house.
