18. For the builders, every one had his sword girded by his side, and so built. And he that sounded the trumpet was by me.
19. And I said to 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.
20. In what place therefore ye hear the sound of the trumpet, resort ye thither to us: our God will fight for us.
21. So we labored in the work: and half of them held the spears from the rising of the morning till the stars appeared.
