Nehemiah 4:16-21 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 coats of mail ; and the rulers were behind all the house of Judah.

16 H3117 And it came to pass from that time H2677 forth, that the half H5288 of my servants H6213 [H8802] wrought H4399 in the work H2677 , and the other half H2388 [H8688] of them held H7420 both the spears H4043 , the shields H7198 , and the bows H8302 , and the coats of mail H8269 ; and the rulers H310 were behind H1004 all the house H3063 of Judah.

17 H1129 [H8802] They who built H2346 on the wall H5375 [H8802] , and they that bore H5447 burdens H6006 [H8802] , burdened themselves H259 , every one with one H3027 of his hands H6213 [H8802] wrought H4399 in the work H259 , and with the other H2388 [H8688] hand held H7973 a weapon.

18 H1129 [H8802] For the builders H376 , every one H2719 had his sword H631 [H8803] girded H4975 by his side H1129 [H8802] , and so built H8628 [H8802] . And he that sounded H7782 the trumpet H681 was by me.

19 H559 [H8799] And I said H2715 to the nobles H5461 , and to the rulers H3499 , and to the rest H5971 of the people H4399 , The work H7235 [H8687] is great H7342 and large H6504 [H8737] , and we are separated H2346 upon the wall H376 , one H7350 far from H251 another.

20 H4725 In what place H8085 [H8799] therefore ye hear H6963 the sound H7782 of the trumpet H6908 [H8735] , resort H430 ye there to us: our God H3898 [H8735] shall fight for us.

21 H6213 [H8802] So we laboured H4399 in the work H2677 : and half H2388 [H8688] of them held H7420 the spears H5927 [H8800] from the rising H7837 of the morning H3556 till the stars H3318 [H8800] appeared.
