The Completion of the Wall 15So the wall was completed on the twenty-fifth of Elul, in fifty-two days.17Also, in those days the nobles of Judah were sending many letters to Tobiah, and replies from Tobiah kept coming to them.18For many in Judah were under oath to him, since he was son-in-law to Shecaniah son of Arah, and his son Jehohanan had married the daughter of Meshullam son of Berekiah.19Moreover, they kept reporting to me his good deeds and then telling him what I said. And Tobiah sent letters to intimidate me. Chapter 7 1After the wall had been rebuilt and I had set the doors in place, the gatekeepers and the singers and the Levites were appointed.2I put in charge of Jerusalem my brother Hanani, along withOr Hanani, that is, Hananiah the commander of the citadel, because he was a man of integrity and feared God more than most men do.3I said to them, “The gates of Jerusalem are not to be opened until the sun is hot. While the gatekeepers are still on duty, have them shut the doors and bar them. Also appoint residents of Jerusalem as guards, some at their posts and some near their own houses.”
