rwbs - Nehemiah:2:11-20

rwbs@Nehemiah:2:11 @ So I came to Jerusalem, and was there three days.

rwbs@Nehemiah:2:12 @ And I arose in the night, I and some few men with me; neither told I man what my God had put in my heart to do at Jerusalem: neither beast with me, except the beast that I rode upon.

rwbs@Nehemiah:2:13 @ And I went out by night by the gate of the valley, even before the dragon well, and to the dung port, and viewed the walls of Jerusalem, which were broken down, and their gates were consumed with fire.

rwbs@Nehemiah:2:14 @ Then I went on to the gate of the fountain, and to the king’s pool: but no place for the beast under me to pass.

rwbs@Nehemiah:2:15 @ Then I went up in the night by the brook, and viewed the wall, and turned back, and entered by the gate of the valley, and returned.

rwbs@Nehemiah:2:16 @ And the rulers knew not where I went, or what I did; neither had I as yet told to the Jews, nor to the priests, nor to the nobles, nor to the rulers, nor to the rest that did the work.

rwbs@Nehemiah:2:17 @ Then said I to them, Ye see the distress that we in, how Jerusalem waste, and its gates are burned with fire: come, and let us build up the wall of Jerusalem, that we may be no more a reproach.

rwbs@Nehemiah:2:18 @ Then I told them of the hand of my God which was good upon me; as also the king’s words that he had spoken to me. And they said, Let us rise and build. So they strengthened their hands for good.

rwbs@Nehemiah:2:19 @ But when Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite, and Geshem the Arabian, heard, they mocked, and despised us, and said, What this thing that ye do? will ye rebel against the king?

rwbs@Nehemiah:2:20 @ Then I answered them, and said to them, The God of heaven, he will prosper us; therefore we his servants will arise and build: but ye have no portion, nor right, nor memorial, in Jerusalem.
