Nehemiah 2:12-16

12Then I arose in the night, I and a few men with me. And I told no one what my God had put into my heart to do for Jerusalem. There was no animal with me but the one on which I rode.

13I went out by night by the Valley Gate to the Dragon Spring and to the Dung Gate, and I inspected the walls of Jerusalem that were broken down and its gates that had been destroyed by fire.

14Then I went on to the Fountain Gate and to the King's Pool, but there was no room for the animal that was under me to pass.

15Then I went up in the night by the valley and inspected the wall, and I turned back and entered by the Valley Gate, and so returned.

16And the officials did not know where I had gone or what I was doing, and I had not yet told the Jews, the priests, the nobles, the officials, and the rest who were to do the work.
