Nehemiah 4:13-16
13Therefore setH5975 I in the lowerH8482 placesH4725 behindH310 the wallH2346, and on the higher placesH6708H6706, I even setH5975 the peopleH5971 after their familiesH4940 with their swordsH2719, their spearsH7420, and their bowsH7198.1 14And I lookedH7200, and rose upH6965, and saidH559 unto the noblesH2715, and to the rulersH5461, and to the restH3499 of the peopleH5971, Be not ye afraidH3372 of themH6440: rememberH2142 the LordH136, which is greatH1419 and terribleH3372, and fightH3898 for your brethrenH251, your sonsH1121, and your daughtersH1323, your wivesH802, and your housesH1004. 15And it came to pass, when our enemiesH341 heardH8085 that it was knownH3045 unto us, and GodH430 had broughtH6565 their counselH6098 to noughtH6565, that we returnedH7725 all of us to the wallH2346, every oneH376 unto his workH4399. 16And it came to pass from that timeH3117 forth, that the halfH2677 of my servantsH5288 wroughtH6213 in the workH4399, and the other halfH2677 of them heldH2388 both the spearsH7420, the shieldsH4043, and the bowsH7198, and the armourH8302; and the rulersH8269 were behindH310 all the houseH1004 of JudahH3063.
