Nehemiah 4:12-14

Darby Translation

¹² And it came to pass that when the Jews that dwelt by them came and told us so ten times, from all the places whence they returned to us,

¹³ I set in the lower places behind the wall in exposed places, I even set the people, according to their families, with their swords, their spears and their bows.

¹⁴ And I looked, and rose up, and said to the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, Be not 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.
