Nehemiah 4:13-16

13then I stationedH5975 men in the lowestH8482 partsH8482 of the spaceH4725 behindH310 the wallH2346, the exposedH6706 placesH6706, and I 1stationedH5975 the peopleH5971 in familiesH4940 with their swordsH2719, spearsH7420, and bowsH7198. 14When I sawH7200 their fear, I stoodH6965 and saidH559 to the noblesH2715, the officialsH5461, and the restH3499 of the peopleH5971: “2Do not beH3372 afraidH3372 of them; rememberH2142 the LordH136 who is greatH1419 and awesomeH3372, and 3fightH3898 for your brothersH251, your sonsH1121, your daughtersH1323, your wivesH802, and your housesH1004.”

15Now whenH3512 our enemiesH340 heardH8085 that it was knownH3045 to us, and that 4GodH430 had frustratedH6565 their planH6098, then allH3605 of us returnedH7725 to the wallH2346, eachH376 oneH376 to his workH4399. 16And from that dayH3117 on, halfH2677 of my servantsH5288 carriedH6213 on the workH4399 while halfH2677 of them kept holdH2388 of the spearsH7420, the shieldsH4043, the bowsH7198, and the coatsH8302 ofH8302 mailH8302; and the captainsH8269 were behindH310 allH3605 the houseH1004 of JudahH3063.
