nkjv Nehemiah:4:16-21
nkjv@Nehemiah:4:16 @ So it was, from that time on, that half of my servants worked at construction, while the other half held the spears, the shields, the bows, and wore armor; and the leaders were behind all the house of Judah.
nkjv@Nehemiah:4:17 @ Those who built on the wall, and those who carried burdens, loaded themselves so that with one hand they worked at construction, and with the other held a weapon.
nkjv@Nehemiah:4:18 @ Every one of the builders had his sword girded at his side as he built. And the one who sounded the trumpet was beside me.
nkjv@Nehemiah:4:19 @ Then I said to the nobles, the rulers, and the rest of the people, "The work is great and extensive, and we are separated far from one another on the wall.
nkjv@Nehemiah:4:20 @ Wherever you hear the sound of the trumpet, rally to us there. Our God will fight for us."
nkjv@Nehemiah:4:21 @ So we labored in the work, and half of the men held the spears from daybreak until the stars appeared.
