And I went forth by the gate of the valley by night, and to the mouth of the Well of Fig Trees, and to the Refuse Gate; and I mourned over the wall of Jerusalem which they were destroying, and her gates were devoured with fire.

And they brought up the princes of Judah on the wall, and they appointed two great [companies] for thanksgiving, and they passed on the right hand on the wall of the Refuse Gate.

And next to them repaired Rephaiah the son of Hur, the ruler of half the district round about Jerusalem.

And next to him repaired Shallum the son of Hallohesh, the ruler of half the district round about Jerusalem, he and his daughters.

But Shallun the son of Col-Hozeh repaired the gate of the fountain, the ruler of part of Mizpah. He built it, and covered it, and set up its doors and its bars, and the wall of the pool of the skins by the meadow of the king, and as far as the steps that lead down from the City of David.

After him repaired the Levites, [even] Rehum the son of Bani. Next to him repaired Hashabiah, ruler of half the district round about Keilah, in his district.

Strengthen yourselves, you children of Benjamin, [to flee] out of the midst of Jerusalem, and sound an alarm with the trumpet in Tekoa, and set up a signal over Beth Haccerem; for evil threatens from the north, and a great destruction is coming.
