RF NEH 4:1 Sanballat's Fury at the Restoration of the wall.
But when Sanballat heard that we had rebuilt the wall, he was furious. He insulted and laughed at the Jews,
RF NEH 4:2 and asked of his companions and the garrison at Shomeron, enquiring;" What would these beggarly Jews do? Would they fortify themselves? Would they sacrifice? Can they in a day revive the stones from the heaps of dust into which they were burnt?"
RF NEH 4:3 And Tobiah the Amonite supported him and said; "Why if a fox assails what they build,—it could break the wall they have built?"
RF NEH 4:4 "Hear, our GOD, how they insult us! and return their contempt on their own heads, and deliver them to be plundered in a land of captivity,
RF NEH 4:5 and do not cover up their villainy nor blot out their sins from before You, for they have jeered in the presence of the builders."
RF NEH 4:6 We, however, rebuilt the walls,—and the wall joined to its half, for the heart of the People was in the work.
RF NEH 4:7 Sanballat decides to assail Nehemiah and destroy the wall.
But when Sanballat, and Tobiah, and the Arabians, and Amonites, and Ashdodites heard that the extent of the walls was erected at Jerusalem—that the breaches began to be closed, they were very furious,
RF NEH 4:8 and all of them agreed together to go to war with Jerusalem, and to cause trouble to it,
RF NEH 4:9 but we prayed to our GOD, and appointed a guard against them by day and night to oppose them.
RF NEH 4:10 Then Judah said, "The strength of the labourers fails, at the heaps of burnt ashes, so we are not able to build at the walls."
RF NEH 4:11 And our opponents said, "They shall not know, nor perceive until we are come into the midst of them and kill, and stop their work."
RF NEH 4:12 And when the Jews who resided amongst them came they told us repeatedly "Wherever you turn round they will assail you!"
RF NEH 4:13 I therefore placed in the bottom of the moat behind the walls, in the dry parts, a Guard of troops for the People, with swords, spears and bows.
RF NEH 4:14 Thus I revived them, and stood up, and said to the Captains and Subalterns, and the rest of the Force, "Fear not before them! Remember the ALMIGHTY, the GREAT and TERRIBLE,—and fight for your countrymen, your sons and daughters, your wives and homes."
RF NEH 4:15 Thus our Opponents heard that we knew,—and that GOD had broken their intention, and that we had all returned to our work on the wall.—
RF NEH 4:16 But from that day half of the youths worked at the wall, and half with the guards, with spears and shields, and bows, and coats of mail, with Officers over them.
RF NEH 4:17 All the House of Judah built at the Wall, with the labourers. The men worked on the one side at the work, and on the other went on guard.
RF NEH 4:18 The builders also had each a sword girt at his waist. Thus they built,—and the Trumpeter was at my side.
RF NEH 4:19 I also said to the Officers and Subalterns, and the rest of the people, "The work is great and extensive, and we are scattered upon the wall at a distance one from the other.
RF NEH 4:20 In whatever place, therefore you hear the sound of the trumpet, collect there to us,—Our GOD will fight for us,
RF NEH 4:21 Thus we did at the work;—and half kept guard with spears from the rise of dawn until the stars came out.
RF NEH 4:22 I also, at this time, said to each man and his assistant, "Lodge in Jerusalem and be with us at night as a guard, and work by day,
RF NEH 4:23 "and neither I, nor my brothers, and attendants,—or the men of my Guard, who followed me,—ever regarded our clothing. Each went to the water.
