Nehemiah 4:19-21 New Century Version (NCV)

19. Then I said to the important people, the leaders, and everyone else, “This is a very big job. We are spreading out along the wall so that we are far apart.

20. Wherever you hear the sound of the trumpet, assemble there. Our God will fight for us.”

21. So we continued to work with half the men holding spears from sunrise till the stars came out.
