— Nehemiah 4:17, King James Version with Apocrypha
“They which builded on the wall, and they that bare burdens, with those that laded, every one with one of his hands wrought in the work, and with the other hand held a weapon.”
“They that builded the wall and they that bare burdens laded themselves; every one with one of his hands wrought in the work, and with the other held his weapon; ”
“They all built the wall and those who bore burdens loaded themselves; everyone with one of his hands worked in the work, and with the other held his weapon;”
“who were rebuilding the wall. Those who were carrying loads did so by keeping one hand on the work and the other on their weapon.”
“Of them that built on the wall and that carried burdens, and that laded: with one of his hands he did the work, and with the other he held a sword.”
“Those who were building the wall and those who were moving material did their part, everyone working with one hand, with his spear in the other;”

And I said unto the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, The work is great and large, and we are separated upon the wall, one far from another.
In what place therefore ye hear the sound of the trumpet, resort ye thither unto us: our God shall fight for us.
