23Come now, make a wager with my master the king of Assyria: I will give you two thousand horses, if you are able on your part to set riders on them. 24How then can you repulse a single captain among the least of my master’s servants, when you trust in Egypt for chariots and for horsemen?Nehemiah 4:2-4
2And he said in the presence of his brothers and of the army of aSamaria, “What are these feeble Jews doing? Will they restore it for themselves? ▼▼Or Will they commit themselves to God?
Will they sacrifice? Will they finish up in a day? Will they revive the stones out of the heaps of rubbish, and burned ones at that?” 3 cTobiah the Ammonite was beside him, and he said, “Yes, what they are building— dif a fox goes up on it he will break down their stone wall!” 4 eHear, O our God, for we are despised. fTurn back their taunt on their own heads and give them up to be plundered in a land where they are captives.
