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.(Nehemías 4:14)

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.(Nehemías 4:17)

For the builders, every one had his sword girded by his side, and so builded. And he that sounded the trumpet was by me.(Nehemías 4:18)

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.(Nehemías 4:19)
