Nehemiah 2:14

12I arose in the night, I and a few men with me. I didn’t tell anyone what my God put into my heart to do for Jerusalem. There wasn’t any animal with me except the animal that I rode on.

13I went out by night by the valley gate toward the jackal’s well, then to the dung gate; and I inspected the walls of Jerusalem, which were broken down, and its gates were consumed with fire.

14Then I went on to the spring gate and to the king’s pool, but there was no place for the animal that was under me to pass.

15Then I went up in the night by the brook and inspected the wall; and I turned back, and entered by the valley gate, and so returned.

16The rulers didn’t know where I went, or what I did. I had not as yet told it to the Jews, nor to the priests, nor to the nobles, nor to the rulers, nor to the rest who did the work.
