Nehemiah 4:7-9

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁷ Now when Sanballat, Tobiah, the Arabs, the Ammonites, and the people of Ashdod heard that the repair of Jerusalem’s walls had progressed and the breaches had begun to be filled, they were infuriated. ⁸ So all of them conspired to come to attack Jerusalem and to throw it into confusion. ⁹ However, we prayed to our God, and because of the enemies, we posted a guard over the builders day and night.
