Nehemiah 2:14-16

International Standard Version

¹⁴ I proceeded to the Fountain Gate, and then to the King’s Pool, but there wasn’t sufficient clearance for the animal I was riding^[a] to pass. ¹⁵ I traveled the valley by night to inspect the wall, returning through the Valley Gate. ¹⁶ The local officials did not know where I had gone or what I had done—I informed neither the Judeans, nor the priests, nor the nobles, nor the officials, nor any of the rest who would be doing the work.
