搬運工人一手工作，一手拿兵器。修築城牆的人工作的時候都腰間配劍。吹號的人在我旁邊，

要穿戴上帝所賜的全副軍裝，以便能夠抵擋魔鬼的陰謀。因為我們爭戰的對象不是這世上的血肉之軀，而是在這黑暗世界執政的、掌權的、管轄的和天上屬靈的邪惡勢力。因此，你們要用上帝所賜的全副軍裝裝備自己，好在邪惡的時代抵擋仇敵，到爭戰結束後依舊昂首挺立。務要站穩，用真理當作帶子束腰，以公義當作護心鏡遮胸，把和平的福音當作鞋子穿在腳上準備行動。此外，還要拿起信心的盾牌，好滅盡惡者一切的火箭。要戴上救恩的頭盔，緊握聖靈的寶劍——上帝的話。要靠著聖靈隨時多方禱告和祈求，警醒不怠地為眾聖徒禱告。也請你們為我禱告，求上帝賜我口才，讓我勇敢地把福音的奧祕講解明白。我為傳福音成了披枷帶鎖的使者。請你們為我禱告，使我能盡忠職守，放膽傳福音。

慷慨借貸，行事公正的人必亨通。

「聽著，我差你們出去，就好像使羊走進狼群一般。所以，你們要像蛇一樣機靈，像鴿子一樣馴良。

希西迦見西拿基立定意要攻打耶路撒冷，就與眾官員和將領商議，決定截斷城外的水源，眾人也都贊成。於是，他們召集大批民眾，截斷所有的水源和過境的溪流，不讓亞述王得到充足的水。希西迦發憤圖強，修築所有被毀壞的城牆，在上面建造城樓，在城外加建一道牆，並在大衛城的米羅加強防禦，製造許多兵器和盾牌。他委任將領管理民眾，將他們全部召集在城門的廣場上，訓勉他們說：「你們要剛強勇敢，不要在亞述王和他的大軍面前恐懼驚慌，因為與我們同在的比與他同在的更有能力。那與他同在的只是血肉之軀，與我們同在的卻是我們的上帝耶和華，祂必幫助我們，為我們作戰。」眾人因猶大王希西迦的這番話而得到鼓舞。

那天晚上，雅各就在那裡過夜，又挑選牲畜送給哥哥以掃作禮物：母山羊二百隻、公山羊二十隻、母綿羊二百隻、公綿羊二十隻、哺乳的駱駝三十頭及其小駱駝、母牛四十頭、公牛十頭、母驢二十頭、驢駒十頭。雅各把牲畜每類分成一群，交給僕人看管，對他們說：「你們走在前頭，每群牲畜之間要保持一段距離！」又吩咐走在最前面的僕人說：「我哥哥以掃遇到你的時候，如果問你是誰家的人？要到哪裡去？前頭這些牲畜是誰的？你就說，『是僕人雅各要送給他主人以掃的禮物，他自己就跟在後面。』」雅各又吩咐看管第二群、第三群及其餘牲畜的僕人遇見以掃時也要這樣回答，並且一定要說：「你僕人雅各就在後面。」雅各想先用禮物去化解以掃的怨恨，或許見面時以掃會善待他。

看啊，是所羅門的轎子，周圍是六十名勇士，都是以色列的精兵。他們個個驍勇善戰，手持利劍，腰配戰刀，防備夜間的偷襲。
