* And it came to pass from that time forth , that the half of my servants wrought in the work m @la #kah #, and the other half of them held both the spears , the shields , and the bows , and the habergeons ; and the rulers were behind all the house of Judah . * They which builded on the wall , and they that bare burdens , with those that laded , every one with one of his hands wrought in the work m @la #kah #, and with the other hand held a weapon . * For the builders , every one had his sword girded by his side , and so builded . And he that sounded the trumpet was by me . * And I said unto the nobles , and to the rulers , and to the rest of the people , The work is great and large , and we are separated upon the wall , one far from another . * In what place therefore ye hear the sound of the trumpet , resort ye thither unto us : our God shall fight for us . * So we laboured in the work m @la #kah #: and half of them held the spears from the rising of the morning till the stars appeared .
