Nehemiah 4:7-8

7So I stationed people in the lower places behind the wall in the exposed places. I stationed the people by families with their swords, spears and bows.

8When I looked things over, I rose up and said to the nobles, the rulers and the rest of the people, “Do not be afraid of them. Remember the great and awesome Lord, and fight on behalf of your brothers, your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your homes.”
