Rashi, on Neh 4:12

“And it came to pass, that when the Jews that dwelt by them came and told us ten times, out of all the places from whence they came to us,”

“And the builders How were they building? They were all girded, each one with his sword on his waist, and thus did they build. beside me He was always beside me.”
