Description: As Israelites work to rebuild Jerusalem’s walls, a man with a hooked hammer, reveals himself to be an enemy and begins to inflict violence on the unsuspecting Israelites. To his right, a guard has reacted. Such attacks were a constant threat during the rebuilding of the walls, for other nations such as Ammon were opposed to the project.
