Nehemiah 2:12-16

« Neh 1Neh 2Neh 3 »

12 And I arose in the night, I and a few men with me. I did not tell anyone what my God was putting into my heart to do for Jerusalem; and there was no animal with me except the animal on which I was riding. 13 So I went out at night by ^athe Valley Gate in the direction of the Dragon’s Spring and on to the ¹Dung Gate, inspecting the walls of Jerusalem ^bwhich were broken down and its ^cgates which were consumed by fire. 14 Then I passed on to ^athe Spring Gate and ^bthe King’s Pool, but there was no place for ¹my animal to pass. 15 So I went up at night by the ^aravine and inspected the wall. Then I turned and entered the Valley Gate and turned around. 16 Now the officials did not know where I had gone or what I was doing; nor had I as yet told the Jews, the priests, the nobles, the officials, or the rest who were doing the work.
