Nehemiah 4:18-20

International Standard Version

¹⁸ Each builder worked with a sword strapped to his side, while a trumpeter remained beside me to sound an alarm.^[a]

¹⁹ I told the officials, rulers, and the rest of the people, “The project is large and extensive, and we are separated from each other on the wall, ²⁰ so wherever you hear the sound of the trumpet, come over to us, and our God will fight for us!”
