Nehemiah 4:12-14

Jubilee Bible 2000

¹² But it came to pass, that when the Jews who dwelt among them came, they advised us ten times of all the places from which they would come upon us.

¹³ Therefore, I set in the lower places behind the wall, and on the higher places, I set the people by families with their swords, their spears, and their bows.

¹⁴ Then I looked and rose up and said unto the nobles and to the rulers and to the rest of the people, Do not be afraid of them: remember the Lord, who is great and terrible, and fight for your brethren, your sons, and your daughters, your wives, and your houses.
