Question source
Nehemiah
Nehemiah kept a man with a trumpet beside him. If fighting broke out at a point on the wall, the people were to rally to the sound of the trumpet, because "our God will fight for us" Nehemiah 4:18–20.
18and the builders, everyone had his sword girded by his side, and so built. He who sounded the trumpet was by me.
19I said to the nobles, and to the rulers and to the rest of the people, The work is great and large, and we are separated on the wall, one far from another:
20in whatever place you hear the sound of the trumpet, resort you there to us; our God will fight for us.
