Nehemiah 2:12-16

12Then I arose in the night, I and a few men with me. And I told no one what my God had put into my heart to do for Jerusalem. There was no animal with me but the one on which I rode. 13I went out by night by athe Valley Gate to the Dragon Spring and to bthe Dung Gate, and I inspected the walls of Jerusalem cthat were broken down dand its gates that had been destroyed by fire. 14Then I went on to ethe Fountain Gate and to fthe King’s Pool, but there was no room for the animal that was under me to pass. 15Then I went up in the night gby the valley and inspected the wall, and I turned back and entered by the Valley Gate, and so returned. 16And the officials did not know where I had gone or what I was doing, and I had not yet told the Jews, the priests, the nobles, the officials, and the rest who were to do the work.
