Nehemiah 4:20-22

International Standard Version

²⁰ so wherever you hear the sound of the trumpet, come over to us, and our God will fight for us!” ²¹ So we worked hard, half of us holding spears from dawn to dusk.

²² At the same time I told the people, “Let’s have everyone sleep at night inside Jerusalem with their servants, so they can guard us at night and work during the day.
