Nehemiah 4:6-8

Complete Jewish Bible

^6 (12) And even the Judeans living near them came and must have said to us ten times, “From every place you must come back to us.”

^7 (13) So in the lower parts of the space behind the wall, I stationed men according to their families, with their swords, spears and bows. ^8 (14) After inspecting them, I stood up and addressed the nobles, leaders and the rest of the people: “Don’t be afraid of them! Remember Adonai, who is great and fearful; and fight for your brothers, sons, daughters, wives and homes.”
