Nehemiah 2:12-14

International Standard Version

¹² Then I got up at night, along with a few men with me. I had not confided to any person what my God had put in my heart to do for Jerusalem. Furthermore, there was no other animal with me except for the one I was riding.

¹³ So I went out during the night through the Valley Gate toward Dragon’s^[a] Well, and from there to the Dung Gate, inspecting the walls of Jerusalem that were broken down and burned by fire. 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^[b] to pass.
