21 And we labored in the work, and half kept hold of the spears from daybreak until the coming forth of the stars.

22 Also at that time I said to the people, “Each man and his servant should lodge in the midst of Jerusalem, that they may be to us by the night a guard and by the day a working party.”

23 And none—I and my brothers and my servants and the men of the guard who were behind me—none of us took off our garments; each man had his weapon at the water.
