1 And Solomon made affinity with Pharaoh king of Egypt, and took Pharaoh’s daughter, and brought her into the city of David, until he had made an end of building his own house, and the house of the Lord, and the wallofJerusalem round about.
15 ¶ And this is the reason of the levy which king Solomon raised; for to build the house of the Lord, and his own house, and Millo, and the wallofJerusalem, and Hazor, and Megiddo, and Gezer.
13 And Jehoash king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Jehoash the son of Ahaziah, at Beth-shemesh, and came to Jerusalem, and brake down the wallofJerusalem from the gate of Ephraim unto the corner gate, four hundred cubits.
23 And Joash the king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, at Beth-shemesh, and brought him to Jerusalem, and brake down the wallofJerusalem from the gate of Ephraim to the corner gate, four hundred cubits.
19 And they burnt the house of God, and brake down the wallofJerusalem, and burnt all the palaces thereof with fire, and destroyed all the goodly vessels thereof.
3 And they said unto me, The remnant that are left of the captivity there in the province are in great affliction and reproach: the wallofJerusalem also is broken down, and the gates thereof are burned with fire.
13 And I went out by night by the gate of the valley, even before the dragon well, and to the dung port, and viewed the wallsofJerusalem, which were broken down, and the gates thereof were consumed with fire.

17 ¶ Then said I unto them, Ye see the distress that we are in, how Jerusalemlieth waste, and the gates thereof are burned with fire: come, and let us build up the wallofJerusalem, that we be no more a reproach.
7 ¶ But it came to pass, that when Sanballat, and Tobiah, and the Arabians, and the Ammonites, and the Ashdodites, heard that the wallsofJerusalem were made up, and that the breaches began to be stopped, then they were very wroth,
27 ¶ And at the dedication of the wallofJerusalem they sought the Levites out of all their places, to bring them to Jerusalem, to keep the dedication with gladness, both with thanksgivings, and with singing, with cymbals, psalteries, and with harps.
4 Now when I had spoken these words, they were yet wroth, and did still continue to murmur; nevertheless they did follow me up until we came without the wallsofJerusalem.
