'Watchmen' in the Bible

Now Saul’s watchmen in Gibeah of Benjamin looked, and behold, the multitude melted away; and they went here and there.

My soul waits for the LordMore than the watchmen for the morning;Indeed, more than the watchmen for the morning.

in the day that the watchmen of the house tremble, and mighty men stoop, the grinding ones stand idle because they are few, and those who look through windows grow dim;

“The watchmen who make the rounds in the city found me,And I said, ‘Have you seen him whom my soul loves?’

“The watchmen who make the rounds in the city found me,They struck me and wounded me;The guardsmen of the walls took away my shawl from me.

Listen! Your watchmen lift up their voices,They shout joyfully together;For they will see with their own eyesWhen the Lord restores Zion.

His watchmen are blind,All of them know nothing.All of them are mute dogs unable to bark,Dreamers lying down, who love to slumber;

On your walls, O Jerusalem, I have appointed watchmen;All day and all night they will never keep silent.You who remind the Lord, take no rest for yourselves;

‘Like watchmen of a field they are against her round about,Because she has rebelled against Me,’ declares the Lord.

“And I set watchmen over you, saying,‘Listen to the sound of the trumpet!’But they said, ‘We will not listen.’

“For there will be a day when watchmenOn the hills of Ephraim call out,‘Arise, and let us go up to Zion,To the Lord our God.’”
