Nehemiah 2:11-13

International Children’s Bible

Nehemiah Inspects Jerusalem

¹¹ I went to Jerusalem and stayed there three days. ¹² Then at night I started out with a few men. I had not told anyone what God had caused me to do for Jerusalem. There were no animals with me except the one I was riding.

¹³ It was night. I went out through the Valley Gate. I rode toward the Dragon Well and the Trash Gate. I was inspecting the walls of Jerusalem. They had been broken down. And the gates had been destroyed by fire.
