Parallel
Nehemiah 4:18
King James Version (1769 Blayney revision, with Apocrypha) · Berean Standard Bible
For the builders, every one had his sword girded by his side (note: Heb. on his loins), and so builded. And he that sounded the trumpet was by me.
And each of the builders worked with his sword strapped at his side. But the trumpeter stayed beside me.
