I gat me up in the night season, and a few men with me: for I told no man what God had given me in my heart to do at Jerusalem. And there was not one beast with me, save it that I rode upon. And I rode by night unto the valley port before the Dragon well, and to the Dung port, and considered the walls of Jerusalem that were broken down, and the ports thereof consumed with the fire. And I went over unto the well port, and to the king's conduit; and there was no room for my beast, that it could go under me. read more.
Then went I on in the night by the brook side, and considered the wall, and turned back and came home again to the valley port. And the rulers knew not whither I went or what I did: for hitherto had I not told the Jews and the priests, the councilors and the rulers, and the others that laboured in the work.

then set I the people after their kindreds with their swords, spears, and bows beneath, in the low places behind the wall; and looked, and gat me up, and said unto the chief men and rulers, and to the other people, "Be not ye afraid of them, but think rather upon the great LORD, which ought to be feared; and fight for your brethren, sons, daughters, wives, and houses." Nevertheless, when our enemies heard that we had gotten word of it, God brought their counsel to nought, and we turned all again to the wall, every one unto his labour. read more.
And from that time forth it came to pass, that the half part of the young men did the labour, and the other half part held spears, shields, bows, and breastplates: and the rulers stood behind all the house of Judah, which builded on the wall, and bare burdens from those that laded them. With one hand did they the work, and with the other held they their weapon. And everyone that builded, had his sword gird by his side, and so builded they. And the trumpeters stood beside me.

Look in what place now ye hear the noise of the trumpet, resort ye thither unto us. Our God shall fight for us, and we will be laboring in the work." And the half part of them held the spears from the morning spring, till the stars came forth. And at the same time said I unto the people, "Every one abide with his servant at Jerusalem, that in the night season we may give attendance to the watch, and to labour on the daytime." As for me and my brethren, and my servants, and the men of the watch behind me, we put never off our clothes, so much as to wash ourselves.

Bring of every tribe three men that I may send them. And that they may rise and walk through the land and distribute it by their inheritances and come again to me. Divide it into seven parts. For Judah shall abide by their coasts in the south, and the house of Joseph shall stand to their coasts in the north. Describe ye the land therefore into seven parts, and bring the description to me hither, that I may cast lots for you here before the LORD our God. read more.

And Joshua charged them that went to describe the land saying, "Hence, and go through the land and describe it, and come again to me hither: and I will cast lots for you before the LORD in Shiloh." And the men departed, and walked through the land and described it by cities into seven parts in a book, and returned to Joshua unto the host at Shiloh.

Behold, there was a wall on the outside round about the house: the measuring rod that he had in his hand, was six cubits long and a span. So he measured the breadth of the building, which was one measuring rod, and the height also one measuring rod. Then came he unto the east door, and went up the stairs, and measured the posts of the door, whereof every one was one measuring rod. Every chamber was one measuring rod long and broad:

And he shall keep thee in all thy cities, until thy high and strong walls be come down wherein thou trustedest, through all thy land. And he shall besiege thee in all thy cities throughout all thy land which the LORD thy God hath given thee.
