SEV Biblia, Chapter 2:12
y me levanté de noche, yo y unos pocos varones conmigo, y no declaré a hombre alguno lo que Dios había puesto en mi corazón que hiciese en Jerusalén; ni había bestia conmigo, excepto la bestia en que cabalgaba.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 12. And I arose in the might, I and some few men with me , etc.] Both the season of the night, and the small number of men to accompany him, were chosen for greater secrecy, that the business he came upon might not as yet be known, and so no schemes formed to obstruct or discourage: neither told I any man what God had put in my heart to do at Jerusalem ; he was satisfied that what he had in view was from the Lord, who had stirred him up to it, but thought it prudent for the present to conceal it, until things were prepared to put it in execution: neither was there any beast with me, save the beast that I rode upon ; he only rode perhaps on a mule, being not yet recovered quite from the fatigue of his journey, and for the sake of honour; the rest went on foot, that there might be no noise made, and so pass on unheard and unobserved.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 9-18 - When Nehemiah had considered the matter, he told the Jews that God ha put it into his heart to build the wall of Jerusalem. He does no undertake to do it without them. By stirring up ourselves and on another to that which is good, we strengthen ourselves and one anothe for it. We are weak in our duty, when we are cold and careless.
