But it came to pass, that when Sanballat heard that we builded the wall, he was wroth, and took great indignation, and mocked the Jews. Neh 2:10Heb 11:36Act 5:17Neh 2:19Psa 35:15-16Mat 27:29Ezr 4:1-5Psa 44:13-14 And he spake before his brethren and the army of Samaria, and said, What do these feeble Jews? will they fortify themselves? will they sacrifice? will they make an end in a day? will they revive the stones out of the heaps of the rubbish which are burned? 1 1Co 1:27Ezr 4:9-101Sa 17:43-44Ezk 37:3-13Neh 4:10Zec 12:81Sa 14:11-12Hab 3:2 Now Tobiah the Ammonite was by him, and he said, Even that which they build, if a fox go up, he shall even break down their stone wall. Neh 2:191Ki 20:101Ki 20:182Ki 18:23Neh 2:10Lam 5:18Neh 6:1 Hear, O our God; for we are despised: and turn their reproach upon their own head, and give them for a prey in the land of captivity: 2 Psa 79:12Psa 123:3-4Pro 3:34Hos 12:141Sa 17:26 And cover not their iniquity, and let not their sin be blotted out from before thee: for they have provoked thee to anger before the builders. Jer 18:23Psa 109:14Psa 69:27-282Ti 4:14Isa 44:22Isa 43:25Psa 51:1Psa 51:9 So built we the wall; and all the wall was joined together unto the half thereof: for the people had a mind to work.

¶ But it came to pass, that when Sanballat, and Tobiah, and the Arabians, and the Ammonites, and the Ashdodites, heard that the walls of Jerusalem were made up, and that the breaches began to be stopped, then they were very wroth, 3 Neh 2:10Neh 4:1Act 4:17-18Act 5:33Amo 1:13Jer 25:20Rev 12:12-13Rev 12:17 And conspired all of them together to come and to fight against Jerusalem, and to hinder it. 4 Psa 83:3-11Act 23:12-13Isa 8:9-10Jer 20:10Psa 2:1-3 Nevertheless we made our prayer unto our God, and set a watch against them day and night, because of them. 1Pe 5:8Act 4:24-30Psa 50:15Luk 21:36Luk 6:11-12Mat 26:412Ki 19:14-19Gen 32:28 And Judah said, The strength of the bearers of burdens is decayed, and there is much rubbish; so that we are not able to build the wall. 2Ch 2:18Ezk 29:18Hag 1:2Num 13:31Num 32:9Psa 11:1-2 And our adversaries said, They shall not know, neither see, till we come in the midst among them, and slay them, and cause the work to cease. 1Th 5:22Sa 17:2Act 23:12Act 23:21Isa 47:11Jdg 20:29-48Psa 56:6 And it came to pass, that when the Jews which dwelt by them came, they said unto us ten times, From all places whence ye shall return unto us they will be upon you. 5 Gen 31:41Gen 31:7Job 19:3Num 14:22
¶ Therefore set I in the lower places behind the wall, and on the higher places, I even set the people after their families with their swords, their spears, and their bows. 6 Eph 6:11-20Neh 4:17-181Co 14:202Ch 32:2-8Gen 32:13-20Mat 10:16Psa 112:5Sng 3:7-8 And I looked, and rose up, and said unto the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, Be not ye afraid of them: remember the Lord, which is great and terrible, and fight for your brethren, your sons, and your daughters, your wives, and your houses. 2Sa 10:12Num 14:9Isa 41:10-14Heb 13:6Psa 66:3Mat 10:28Psa 20:7Psa 65:5 And it came to pass, when our enemies heard that it was known unto us, and God had brought their counsel to nought, that we returned all of us to the wall, every one unto his work. 2Sa 17:14Rom 12:11Isa 44:25Job 5:12-13Psa 33:10-112Sa 15:31Isa 8:10Lam 3:37-38
And it came to pass from that time forth, that the half of my servants wrought in the work, and the other half of them held both the spears, the shields, and the bows, and the habergeons; and the rulers were behind all the house of Judah. Neh 4:23Neh 5:15-16Psa 101:6 They which builded on the wall, and they that bare burdens, with those that laded, every one with one of his hands wrought in the work, and with the other hand held a weapon. 2Co 6:72Ti 2:32Ti 4:71Co 16:131Co 16:9Eph 6:11-20Php 1:281Co 9:12 For the builders, every one had his sword girded by his side, and so builded. And he that sounded the trumpet was by me. 7 Num 10:92Ch 13:12-17
¶ And I said unto the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, The work is great and large, and we are separated upon the wall, one far from another. In what place therefore ye hear the sound of the trumpet, resort ye thither unto us: our God shall fight for us. Exo 14:14Deu 1:30Deu 20:4Deu 3:22Jos 23:10Zec 14:3Exo 14:25 So we laboured in the work: and half of them held the spears from the rising of the morning till the stars appeared. Gal 6:9Col 1:291Co 15:101Co 15:58 Likewise at the same time said I unto the people, Let every one with his servant lodge within Jerusalem, that in the night they may be a guard to us, and labour on the day. Neh 11:1-2 So neither I, nor my brethren, nor my servants, nor the men of the guard which followed me, none of us put off our clothes, saving that every one put them off for washing. 8 1Co 15:10Jdg 5:11Jdg 9:48Neh 5:16Neh 7:2
