1 (3-33) 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. 2 (3-34) And he spoke before his brethren and the army of Samaria, and said: 'What do these feeble Jews? will they restore at will? will they sacrifice? will they make an end this day? will they revive the stones out of the heaps of rubbish, seeing they are burned?' 3 (3-35) Now Tobiah the Ammonite was by him, and he said: 'Even that which they build, if a fox go up, he shall break down their stone wall.' 9 (4-3) But we made our prayer unto our God, and set a watch against them day and night, because of them. 16 (4-10) And it came to pass from that time forth, that half of my servants wrought in the work, and half of them held the spears, the shields, and the bows, and the coats of mail; and the rulers were behind all the house of Judah. 17 (4-11) They that builded the wall and they that bore burdens laded themselves, every one with one of his hands wrought in the work, and with the other held his weapon; 18 (4-12) and the builders, every one had his sword girded by his side, and so builded. And he that sounded the horn was by me. 20 (4-14) in what place soever ye hear the sound of the horn, resort ye thither unto us; our God will fight for us.'
