Nehemiah 4:17-19

Living Bible

¹⁷ And the masons and laborers worked with weapons within easy reach beside them ¹⁸ or with swords belted to their sides. The trumpeter stayed with me to sound the alarm.

¹⁹ “The work is so spread out,” I explained to them, “and we are separated so widely from each other, that when you hear the trumpet blow, you must rush to where I am; and God will fight for us.”
