Bible. Nehemiah
16:003:025 Palal the son of Uzai, over against the turning of the wall,
and the tower which lieth out from the king's high house, that
was by the court of the prison. After him Pedaiah the son of
Parosh.
16:003:026 Moreover the Nethinims dwelt in Ophel, unto the place over
against the water gate toward the east, and the tower that
lieth out.
16:003:027 After them the Tekoites repaired another piece, over against
the great tower that lieth out, even unto the wall of Ophel.
16:003:028 From above the horse gate repaired the priests, every one over
against his house.
16:003:029 After them repaired Zadok the son of Immer over against his
house. After him repaired also Shemaiah the son of Shechaniah,
the keeper of the east gate.
16:003:030 After him repaired Hananiah the son of Shelemiah, and Hanun
the sixth son of Zalaph, another piece. After him repaired
Meshullam the son of Berechiah over against his chamber.
16:003:031 After him repaired Malchiah the goldsmith's son unto the place
of the Nethinims, and of the merchants, over against the gate
Miphkad, and to the going up of the corner.
16:003:032 And between the going up of the corner unto the sheep gate
repaired the goldsmiths and the merchants.
16:004:001 But it came to pass, that when Sanballat heard that we builded
the wall, he was wroth, and took great indignation, and mocked
the Jews.
16:004:002 And he spake before his brethren and the army of Samaria, and
said, What do these feeble Jews? will they fortify themselves?
will they sacrifice? will they make an end in a day? will they
revive the stones out of the heaps of the rubbish which are
burned?
16:004:003 Now Tobiah the Ammonite was by him, and he said, Even that
which they build, if a fox go up, he shall even break down
their stone wall.
16:004:004 Hear, O our God; for we are despised: and turn their reproach
upon their own head, and give them for a prey in the land of
captivity:
16:004:005 And cover not their iniquity, and let not their sin be blotted
out from before thee: for they have provoked thee to anger
before the builders.
16:004:006 So built we the wall; and all the wall was joined together
unto the half thereof: for the people had a mind to work.
16:004:007 But it came to pass, that when Sanballat, and Tobiah, and the
Arabians, and the Ammonites, and the Ashdodites, heard that
the walls of Jerusalem were made up, and that the breaches
began to be stopped, then they were very wroth,
16:004:008 And conspired all of them together to come and to fight
against Jerusalem, and to hinder it.
