In context
18 Even they who were building, every man, had his sword girded upon his loins, and so was building,—and, he that sounded the horn, was by my side.
19 So I said unto the nobles and unto the deputies, and unto the rest of the people, The work, is great and large,—and, we, are separated upon the wall, far away, each man from his brother:
20 In what place soever ye shall hear the sound of the horn, thither, gather yourselves unto us,—our God, will fight for us.
21 So, we, were working at the work,—one half of them, grasping the spears, from the uprisings of the dawn, until the coming out of the stars.
22 Moreover, at that time, I said to the people, Let, every one with his young man, lodge for the night in the midst of Jerusalem,—so shall they serve us, in the night, as a watch, and, the day, for work.
23 So neither I, nor my brethren, nor my young men, nor the men of the watch that followed me, none of us, put off our clothes,—every one [went] with his weapon to the water.
