Nehemiah 4:19-21

International Children’s Bible

¹⁹ Then I spoke to the important men, the leaders and the rest of the people. I said, “This is a very big job. We are spreading out along the wall. We are far apart. ²⁰ So wherever you hear the sound of the trumpet, assemble there. Our God will fight for us.”

²¹ So we continued to work. Half the men held spears. We worked from sunrise till the stars came out.
