Nehemiah 4:7-9 ▼

7 But it happened that when Sanballat, Tobiah, the Arabians, the Ammonites, and the Ashdodites heard that the repairing of the walls of Jerusalem went forward, and that the breaches began to be filled, then they were very angry;

8 and they conspired all of them together to come and fight against Jerusalem, and to cause confusion in it.

9 But we made our prayer to our God, and set a watch against them day and night, because of them.
