11 So I came to Jerusalem, and was there three days.

12 And I arose in the night, I and some few men with me; neither did I tell [any] man what my God had put in my heart to do at Jerusalem; neither [was there any] beast with me, except the beast that I rode upon.

13 And I went out by night by the gate of the valley, even before the fountain of the dragon and to the dung port and considered the walls of Jerusalem, which were broken down, and the its gates were consumed with fire.

14 Then I went on to the gate of the fountain and to the king's pool, but [there was] no place for the beast [that was] under me to pass.

15 Then went I up in the night by the brook and considered the wall and turned back and entered by the gate of the valley and [so] returned.

16 And the rulers did not know where I had gone or what I had done; neither had I as yet told [it] to the Jews nor to the priests nor to the nobles nor to the rulers nor to the rest that did the work.
