16 And it came to pass from

them held both the spears, the
'shields, and the 'bows, and
the "habergeons; and the rulers
were behind all the house of

there is much rubbish; so that
we are not able to build the
wall.

11 And our adversaries said, They shall not know, neither see, till we come in the midst among them, and slay them, and cause the work to cease.

12¶ And it came to pass, that when the Jews which dwelt by them came, they said unto us ten times, From all places whence ye shall return unto us they will be upon you.

13 Therefore set I in the lower places behind the "wall, and on the higher places, I even set the people after their families with their swords, their 'spears, and their bows.

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

19 And 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.

20 In what place therefore ye hear the sound of the 'trumpet, resort ye thither unto us: "our "God shall fight for us.

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

22 Likewise at the same time said I unto the people, Let every one with his servant lodge within Je-ru'sa-lem, that in the night they may be a guard to us, and labour on the day.

14 And I looked, and rose up,
and said unto the nobles, and
to the rulers, and to the rest of
the people, "Be not ye afraid
