Nehemiah 2:11-20

So I came
<0935> (8799)

to Jerusalem
<03389>_,

and was there three
<07969>

days
<03117>_.

And I arose
<06965> (8799)

in the night
<03915>_,

I and some
<04592>

few
<04592>

men
<0582>

with me; neither told
<05046> (8689)

I [any] man
<0120>

what my God
<0430>

had put
<05414> (8802)

in my heart
<03820>

to do
<06213> (8800)

at Jerusalem
<03389>_:

neither [was there any] beast
<0929>

with me, save the beast
<0929>

that I rode upon
<07392> (8802)_.

And I went out
<03318> (8799)

by night
<03915>

by the gate
<08179>

of the valley
<01516>_,

even before
<06440>

the dragon
<08577>

well
<05869> (8677) <05886>_,

and to the dung
<0830>

port
<08179>_,

and viewed
<07663> (8802) (8675) <07665> (8799)

the walls
<02346>

of Jerusalem
<03389>_,

which were broken down
<06555> (8803)_,

and the gates
<08179>

thereof were consumed
<0398> (8795)

with fire
<0784>_.

Then I went on
<05674> (8799)

to the gate
<08179>

of the fountain
<05869>_,

and to the king's
<04428>

pool
<01295>_:

but [there was] no place
<04725>

for the beast
<0929>

[that was] under me to pass
<05674> (8800)_.

Then went I up
<05927> (8802)

in the night
<03915>

by the brook
<05158>_,

and viewed
<07663> (8802) (8675) <07665> (8799)

the wall
<02346>_,

and turned back
<07725> (8799)_,

and entered
<0935> (8799)

by the gate
<08179>

of the valley
<01516>_,

and [so] returned
<07725> (8799)_.

And the rulers
<05461>

knew
<03045> (8804)

not whither I went
<01980> (8804)_,

or what I did
<06213> (8802)_;

neither had I as yet
<03651>

told
<05046> (8689)

[it] to the Jews
<03064>_,

nor to the priests
<03548>_,

nor to the nobles
<02715>_,

nor to the rulers
<05461>_,

nor to the rest
<03499>

that did
<06213> (8802)

the work
<04399>_.

Then said
<0559> (8799)

I unto them, Ye see
<07200> (8802)

the distress
<07451>

that we [are] in, how Jerusalem
<03389>

[lieth] waste
<02720>_,

and the gates
<08179>

thereof are burned
<03341> (8738)

with fire
<0784>_:

come
<03212> (8798)_,

and let us build up
<01129> (8799)

the wall
<02346>

of Jerusalem
<03389>_,

that we be no more a reproach
<02781>_.

Then I told
<05046> (8686)

them of the hand
<03027>

of my God
<0430>

which was good
<02896>

upon me; as also the king's
<04428>

words
<01697>

that he had spoken
<0559> (8804)

unto me. And they said
<0559> (8799)_,

Let us rise up
<06965> (8799)

and build
<01129> (8804)_.

So they strengthened
<02388> (8762)

their hands
<03027>

for [this] good
<02896>

[work].

But when Sanballat
<05571>

the Horonite
<02772>_,

and Tobiah
<02900>

the servant
<05650>_,

the Ammonite
<05984>_,

and Geshem
<01654>

the Arabian
<06163>_,

heard
<08085> (8799)

[it], they laughed us to scorn
<03932> (8686)_,

and despised
<0959> (8799)

us, and said
<0559> (8799)_,

What [is] this thing
<01697>

that ye do
<06213> (8802)_?

will ye rebel
<04775> (8802)

against the king
<04428>_?

Then answered
<07725> (8686) <01697>

I them, and said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, The God
<0430>

of heaven
<08064>_,

he will prosper
<06743> (8686)

us; therefore we his servants
<05650>

will arise
<06965> (8799)

and build
<01129> (8804)_:

but ye have no portion
<02506>_,

nor right
<06666>_,

nor memorial
<02146>_,

in Jerusalem
<03389>_.
