Nehemiah 4:18-20
New English Translation
18 The builders, to a man, had their swords strapped to their sides while they were building. But the trumpeter[a] remained with me.
19 I said to the nobles, the officials, and the rest of the people, “The work is demanding[b] and extensive, and we are spread out on the wall, far removed from one another. 20 Wherever you hear the sound of the trumpet, gather there with us. Our God will fight for us!”

New International Version
18 and each of the builders wore his sword at his side as he worked. But the man who sounded the trumpet(A) stayed with me.
19 Then I said to the nobles, the officials and the rest of the people, “The work is extensive and spread out, and we are widely separated from each other along the wall. 20 Wherever you hear the sound of the trumpet,(B) join us there. Our God will fight(C) for us!”
