Nehemiah 4:17-20 Good News Bible Anglicised (GNBDC)

17. who were rebuilding the wall. Even those who carried building materials worked with one hand and kept a weapon in the other,

18. and everyone who was building kept a sword strapped to his waist. The man who was to sound the alarm on the bugle stayed with me.

19. I told the people and their officials and leaders, “The work is spread out over such a distance that we are widely separated from one another on the wall.

20. If you hear the bugle, gather round me. Our God will fight for us.”
