Nehemiah 4:7-9

Revised Geneva Translation

⁷ But when Sanballat and Tobiah and the Arabians and the Ammonite, and the Ashdodims heard that the walls of Jerusalem had been repaired (for the breaches began to be stopped), then they were very angry

⁸ and conspired together to come and to fight against Jerusalem, and to hinder them.

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