Nehemiah 4:12-14

12And it came to pass that when the Jews that dwelt by them came and told us so ten times, from all the places whence they returned to us,

13I set in the lower places behind the wall in exposed places, I even set the people, according to their families, with their swords, their spears and their bows.

14And I looked, and rose up, and said to the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, Be not afraid of them: remember the Lord who is great and terrible, and fight for your brethren, your sons and your daughters, your wives and your houses.
