So I came to Jerusalem and was there three days.

And I rose up in the night, I and a few men with me. And I told no man what my God had put in my heart to do at Jerusalem. And there was no animal with me except the animal that I rode on.

And I went out by night by the Valley Gate, even before the Jackal Fountain, and to the Dung Gate. And I examined the walls of Jerusalem which were broken down, and its gates which were burned with fire.

Then I passed on to the Fountain Gate, and to the King's Pool. But there was no place for the animal that was under me to pass.

Then I went up in the night by the torrent, and examined the wall, and turned back, and entered by the Valley Gate, and returned.

And the rulers did not know where I had gone, or what I was doing. Nor had I told it yet to the Jews, or to the priests, or to the nobles, or to the rulers, or to the rest that did the work.
