⁷ But Sanballat, Tobiah, the Arabs, the Ammonites, and the people from Ashdod were very angry when they heard that the repairs to Jerusalem’s walls were continuing and that the ·holes [gaps; breaches] in the wall were being closed. ⁸ So they all made plans to come to Jerusalem and fight and ·stir up trouble [cause confusion/a disturbance]. ⁹ But we prayed to our God and appointed guards ·to watch for [^Lagainst] them day and night.
