Open this scene in the reader →7Then I stationed men in the lowest parts of the place, behind the wall, in the exposed areas; and I stationed the people by families, with their swords, their spears, and their bows.
8Then I looked, rose up, and said to the nobles, to the officials, and to the rest of the people, “Do not be afraid of them. Remember the Lord, who is great and fearsome, and fight for your brothers, your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your houses.”
