Nehemiah 4:20 Meaning and Commentary

Nehemiah 4:20

In what place therefore ye hear the sound of the trumpet
Be it what part of the wall soever they were at work, even the most distant:

resort ye thither to us;
to Nehemiah, and the half of his servants armed, where the trumpet was blown; that was to be the place of rendezvous:

our God shall fight for us;
and give us victory over our enemies; none have any reason to be intimidated, when they shall hear the sound of the trumpet.

Nehemiah 4:20 In-Context

18 For the builders, each one had his sword girded by his side, and so they built. And he that sounded the shofar was by me.

19 And I said unto the principals and to the rulers and to the rest of the people, The work is great and large, and we are separated upon the wall, one far from another.

20 In whatever place that you hear the voice of the shofar, join us there; our God shall fight for us.

21 So we laboured in the work, and half of them held the spears from the rising of the morning until the stars appeared.

22 Likewise at the same time said I unto the people, Let each one with his servant lodge within Jerusalem, that by night they may be a guard to us, and labour by day.
