Nehemiah 4:11-13

World English Bible

¹¹ Our adversaries said, “They will not know or see, until we come in among them and kill them, and cause the work to cease.”

¹² When the Jews who lived by them came, they said to us ten times from all places, “Wherever you turn, they will attack us.”

¹³ Therefore I set guards in the lowest parts of the space behind the wall, in the open places. I set the people by family groups with their swords, their spears, and their bows.
