Nehemiah 4:20

20 Rally to us wherever you hear the sound of the trumpet. Our God will fight for us."

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 And each of the builders had his sword strapped at his side while he built. The man who sounded the trumpet was beside me.

19 And I said to the nobles, the officials, and the rest of the people, "The work is great and widely spread out, and we are separated far from one another on the wall.

20 Rally to us wherever you hear the sound of the trumpet. Our God will fight for us."

21 So we labored at the work, and half of them held the spears from break of dawn until the stars came out.

22 I also said to the people at that time, "Let every man and his servant pass the night inside Jerusalem, so that they may be a guard for us by night and may labor by day."
