Nehemiah 4:11 DBY

⁹  Then we prayed to our God, and set a watch against them day and night, because of them.

¹⁰  And Judah said, The strength of the bearers of burdens faileth, and there is much rubbish; so that we are not able to build at the wall.

¹¹  And our adversaries said, They shall not know, neither see, till we come into the midst of them and kill them, and put an end to the work.

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.
