Nehemiah 6:15-Nehemiah 7:4 - The Wall Is Completed
15 And the wall was finished on the five and twentieth day of the month Elul, in two and fifty days. 16 And when all our enemies heard thereof, all the Heathen that were about us were afraid, and their courage failed them: for they perceived, that this work came of God.
17 And at the same time were there many of the chiefs of Judah, whose letters went unto Tobiah, and from Tobiah unto them. 18 For there were many in Judah that were sworn unto him, for he was the son-in-law of Shecaniah the son of Arah, and his son Johanan had the daughter of Meshullam the son of Barachiah. 19 And they spake good of him before me, and told him my words; and Tobiah sent letters, to put me in fear.
1 Now when we had builded the wall I hanged on the doors; and the porters, singers and Levites were appointed. 2 And I commanded my brother Hanani, and Hananiah the ruler of the palace at Jerusalem: for he was a faithful man, and feared God more than did many others, 3 and I said unto them, "Let not the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun be hot; and while they are yet standing in the watch, the doors shall be shut and barred." And there were certain citizens of Jerusalem appointed to be watchmen every one in his watch, and about his house.
4 As for the city, it was large of room, and great, but the people were few therein, and the houses were not builded.
