14 Hnojnou bránu opravil Malkiáš, syn Rechabův, správce okresu Bet-kerem. Když ji vystavěl, osadil vrata, zámky a závory.

15 Studniční bránu opravoval Šalun, syn Kol-chozeho, správce okresu Micpa. Když ji postavil a zastřešil, osadil vrata, zámky a závory.

Nepřátelské úklady

33 Jakmile se Sanbalat doslechl, že stavíme hradby, rozhněval se, přímo zuřil, a začal Židy urážet. 34 „Co to ti bídní Židé provádějí?“ vykřikoval před svými soukmenovci a před samařským vojskem. „Chtějí opevňovat?! Chtějí obětovat? Chtějí to dnes dodělat? Chtějí křísit z prachu ty ohořelé sutiny?“

35 Tobiáš Amonský, který mu stál po boku, řekl: „Jen ať klidně stavějí. Ta jejich kamenná zeď spadne, jen co po ní liška přeběhne!“

36 Slyš, Bože náš, jak námi pohrdají, a obrať tu pohanu na jejich hlavu! Ať se sami stanou kořistí v zemi vyhnanství. 37 Nepřikrývej jejich hanebnosti, jejich hříchy ať nejsou před tebou smazány, neboť brojili proti stavitelům.

38 A tak jsme stavěli hradby. Už byly z poloviny zaceleny a lid pracoval celým srdcem.
