Open this scene in the reader →1When the wall had been built and I had set up the doors, the gatekeepers, the singers, and the Levites were appointed.
2Then I appointed my brother Hanani and Hananiah, the commander of the fortress, over Jerusalem, because he was a faithful man and feared God more than many.
3And I said to them, “The gates of Jerusalem must not be opened until the sun is hot. While they are still standing guard, let them shut the doors and fasten them. And appoint guards from the inhabitants of Jerusalem, each at his watch and each opposite his own house.”
4The city was wide and large, but the people within it were few, and no houses had been built.
