And I looked and arose and said to the nobles and to the officials and to the rest of the people, "Do not be afraid of them. Remember the Lord, who is great and awesome, and fight for your brothers, your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your homes."
Remember the Lord.
Fight for your family.
Also, take note, Nehemiah does not say, "fight for your husbands!" Why not? Because he isn't talking to wives and mothers. He is talking to husbands and fathers. Men must fight. Men must provide for the table and the 2x4s that hold up the home and then men must leave the comfort of that home and fight when the home is threatened. Men must go out in order to keep what must stay. Men fight because wives, children, homes and tables are worth protecting.
