Nehemiah 4:13-23

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. 17They which buildedH1129 on the wallH2346, and they that bareH5375 burdensH5447, with those that ladedH6006, every one with oneH259 of his handsH3027 wroughtH6213 in the workH4399, and with the otherH259 hand heldH2388 a weaponH7973. 18For the buildersH1129, every oneH376 had his swordH2719 girdedH631 by his sideH4975, and so buildedH1129. And he that soundedH8628 the trumpetH7782 was by meH681.2

19And I saidH559 unto the noblesH2715, and to the rulersH5461, and to the restH3499 of the peopleH5971, The workH4399 is greatH7235 and largeH7342, and we are separatedH6504 upon the wallH2346, oneH376 far fromH7350 anotherH251. 20In what placeH4725 therefore ye hearH8085 the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782, resortH6908 ye thither unto us: our GodH430 shall fightH3898 for us. 21So we labouredH6213 in the workH4399: and halfH2677 of them heldH2388 the spearsH7420 from the risingH5927 of the morningH7837 till the starsH3556 appearedH3318. 22Likewise at the same timeH6256 saidH559 I unto the peopleH5971, Let every oneH376 with his servantH5288 lodgeH3885 withinH8432 JerusalemH3389, that in the nightH3915 they may be a guardH4929 to us, and labourH4399 on the dayH3117. 23So neither I, nor my brethrenH251, nor my servantsH5288, nor the menH582 of the guardH4929 which followedH310 me, none of usH587 put offH6584 our clothesH899, saving that every oneH376 put them offH7973 for washingH4325.3
