Nehemiah 4:7-9

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁷ But when Sanballat, Tobiah, the Arabians, Ammonites, and Ashdodites heard that the walls of Jerusalem were going up and that the breaches were being closed, they were very angry.

⁸ And they all plotted together to come and fight against Jerusalem, to injure and cause confusion and failure in it.

⁹ But because of them we made our prayer to our God and set a watch against them day and night.
