Nehemiah 2

¹³ So I went out at night through the Valley Gate toward the Well of the Serpent and the Dung Gate, and I inspected the walls of Jerusalem that had been broken down and the gates that had been destroyed by fire.

¹⁴ Then I went on to the Fountain Gate and the King’s Pool, but there was no room for the animal under me to get through;

¹⁵ so I went up the valley by night and inspected the wall. Then I headed back and reentered through the Valley Gate.

¹⁶ The officials did not know where I had gone or what I was doing, for I had not yet told the Jews or priests or nobles or officials or any other workers.

¹⁷ Then I said to them, “You see the trouble we are in. Jerusalem lies in ruins, and its gates have been burned down. Come, let us rebuild the wall of Jerusalem, so that we will no longer be a disgrace.”
