Nehemiah 4:19-21

New King James Version

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. ²⁰ Wherever you hear the sound of the trumpet, rally to us there. ^(A)Our God will fight for us.”

²¹ So we labored in the work, and half of ^[a]the men held the spears from daybreak until the stars appeared.
