Nechemyah 4:7-9

Orthodox Jewish Bible

^7 (4:1) But it came to pass, that when Sanvalat, and Toviyah, and the Arabs, and the Ammonim, and the Ashdodim, heard about the Chomat Yerushalayim, that its repairs had gone ahead, and that the gaps began to be closed up, then they were very angry,

^8 (4:2) And they plotted all of them together to come and to fight against Yerushalayim, and to hinder it.

^9 (4:3) Nevertheless we davened unto Eloheinu, and set a watch against them yomam valailah, because of them.
