SEV Biblia, Chapter 4:18
Porque los que edificaban, cada uno tenía su espada ceņida a sus lomos, y así edificaban y el que tocaba la trompeta estaba junto a mí.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 18. For the builders had everyone his sword girded by his side, and so builded , etc.] Thus accoutred he wrought, and was prepared for either service: and he that sounded the trumpet was by me ; to give the alarm of war, that everyone might lay aside his work, and prepare for the battle: this officer stood by Nehemiah, that when he found it necessary, might give him orders to sound his trumpet, for the men to gather to him.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 16-23 - We must watch always against spiritual enemies, and not expect that ou warfare will be over till our work is ended. The word of God is the sword of the Spirit, which we ought to have always at hand, and neve to have to seek for it, either in our labours, or in our conflicts, a Christians. Every true Christian is both a labourer and a soldier working with one hand, and fighting with the other. Good work is likel to go on with success, when those who labour in it, make a business of it. And Satan fears to assault the watchful Christian; or, if attacked the Lord fights for him. Thus must we wait to the close of life, neve putting off our armour till our work and warfare are ended; then we shall be welcomed to the rest and joy of our Lord __________________________________________________________________
