Nehemiah 2:10-19

10And whenH834 SanballatH5571 the HoroniteH2772, and Tobijah the servantH5650, the AmmoniteH5984, heardH8085 [of it], it grieved them exceedingly that there had comeH935 a manH120 to seekH1245 the welfare of the children of IsraelH3478.

11And I cameH935 to JerusalemH3389, and wasH1961 there threeH7969 daysH3117.

12And I aroseH6965 in the nightH3915, I and some fewH4592 menH376 with me — but I toldH5046 no manH376 what my 1GodH430 had putH5414 in my heartH3820 to do for JerusalemH3389 — and there was no beast with me, except the beast that I rodeH7392 upon.

13And I wentH3318 out by nightH3915 by the valley-gate, even toward the jackal-fountain, and to the dung-gate; and I viewed the wallsH2346 of JerusalemH3389, which were in ruins, and its gatesH8179 were consumedH398 with fireH784.

14And I went on to the fountain-gate, and to the king's poolH1295; and there was no placeH4725 for the beast under me to passH5674.

15And I wentH935 up in the nightH3915 through the valleyH1516, and viewed the wallH2346, and turnedH7725 backH7725, and entered by the valley-gate and returnedH7725.

16And the rulers did not knowH3045 whither I wentH1980 or what I did, for I had not as yet toldH5046 it to the JewsH3064, nor to the priestsH3548, nor to the nobles, nor to the rulers, nor to the restH3499 that did the workH4399.

17And I saidH559 to them, Ye seeH7200 the distress that we are in, that JerusalemH3389 lies waste, and its gatesH8179 are burnedH3341 with fireH784. Come, and let us buildH1129 up the wallH2346 of JerusalemH3389, that we beH1961 no more a reproachH2781.

18And I toldH5046 them of the handH3027 of my 2GodH430 which had been goodH2896 upon me; as alsoH637 of the king's wordsH1697 which he had saidH559 unto me. And they saidH559, Let us riseH6965 up and buildH1129. And they strengthenedH2388 their handsH3027 for the goodH2896 [work].

19And SanballatH5571 the HoroniteH2772, and Tobijah the servantH5650, the AmmoniteH5984, and GeshemH1654 the Arabian, heardH8085 it; and they mockedH3932 us and despisedH959 us, and saidH559, What is this thingH1697 which ye do? will ye rebelH4775 against the kingH4428?
