I stationed the people behind the deepest part of the wall in the open places according to their families, with their swords, spears, and bows.

From that day, half of my servants were working on craftsmanship, half were holding spears, small shields, bows, and breastplates. The commanders were behind the whole house of Judah.

So we labored at the work, and half of them were holding the spears from dawn until the stars came out.
