4:16 And it came to pass from that time [H3117] forth, [that] the half [H2677] of my servants [H5288] wrought [H6213] in the work [H4399] , and the other half [H2677] of them held [H2388] both the spears [H7420] , the shields [H4043] , and the bows [H7198] , and the habergeons [H8302] ; and the rulers [H8269] [were] behind [H310] all the house [H1004] of Judah [H3063] .
