Nehemiah 4:22

Likewise at the same time said I unto the people, Let every one with his servant lodge within Jerusalem, that in the night they may be a guard to us, and labour on the day.

Cross-reference

Nehemiah 11:1 later implements the idea of dwelling in Jerusalem — here the command for temporary lodging becomes a permanent repopulation strategy.

Nehemiah 11:2 records blessing on those who volunteered to live in Jerusalem — reflects the willing guard duty required in this verse.
