Nehemiah 2:12-14

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹² At that time I got up in the middle of the night with a few men. I had not told anyone what God had placed into my heart to do for Jerusalem. There was no animal with me except the animal on which I was riding. ¹³ At night I went out through the Valley Gate and went toward the vicinity of the Jackal Well^[a] and the Dung Gate. I began inspecting the walls of Jerusalem, which had been breached, and its gates, which had been consumed by fire. ¹⁴ Then I crossed over to the Fountain Gate and to the King’s Pool, but there was no place for the animal that I was riding to get through.
