Nehemiah 4:16-21

16And it cameH1961 to passH1961 from that time forth, that half of my servantsH5288 wrought in the workH4399, and half of them heldH1961 the spears, the shields, and the bows, and the coats of mail; and the rulers were behind allH3117 the house of Judah.

17They that builded the wall and they that bare burdens laded themselvesH310, everyH376 one with one of his hands wrought in the work, and with the otherH251 held his weaponH7973;

18and the builders, every one had his sword girded by his side, and so builded. And he that sounded the trumpet was by me.

19And I said unto the nobles, and to the rulers and to the rest of the people, The work is great and large, and we are separated upon the wall, one far from another:

20in what place soever ye hear the sound of the trumpet, resort ye thither unto us; our God shall fight for us.

21So we wrought in the work: and half of them held the spears from the rising of the morning till the stars appeared.
