Nehemiah 2:11-16

Nehemiah 2:11-16 CSB

After I arrived in Jerusalem and had been there three days,  I got up at night and took a few men with me. I didn’t tell anyone what my God had laid on my heart to do for Jerusalem. The only animal I took  was the one I was riding. I went out at night through the Valley Gate toward the Serpent’s  Well and the Dung Gate,  and I inspected the walls of Jerusalem that had been broken down and its gates that had been destroyed by fire.  I went on to the Fountain Gate  and the King’s Pool,  but farther down it became too narrow for my animal to go through. So I went up at night by way of the valley and inspected the wall. Then heading back, I entered through the Valley Gate  and returned. The officials did not know where I had gone or what I was doing, for I had not yet told the Jews, priests, nobles, officials, or the rest of those who would be doing the work.
