4 ⁽⁷⁾ But when Sanvalat, Toviyah, the Arabs, the ‘Amonim and the Ashdodim heard that the repairs on the walls of Yerushalayim were going forward, and the breaks were being filled in, they became very angry. ^2 (8) All of them together plotted to come and fight against Yerushalayim and thus throw us into confusion. ^3 (9) However, we prayed to our God and, because of them, organized a watch against them day and night.
