Contextual Overview
7 And it happened, when Sanballat and Tobiah, and the Arabians, and the Ammonites, and the Ashdodites, heard that repairing of the walls of Jerusalem had gone up, that the breaks were being closed up, it was very angering to them. 8 And all of them conspired together to come and fight against Jerusalem, and do harm to it. 9 But we made our prayer to our God, and set a watch against them day and night, because of them. 10 And Judah said, The strength of the burden carriers is weakening, and there is much rubbish, so that we are not able to build the wall. 11 And our foes have said, They shall not know or see until we come in the middle of them and kill them, and cause the work to cease. 12 And it happened when the Jews who lived near them came in, they said to us ten times, From all places where you shall return, they will be against us. 13 So I stationed from the lowest parts of the place, from the back of the wall, in the higher places; even, I stationed the people according to their families, with their swords, their spears, and their bows. 14 And I saw. And I rose up and said to the nobles and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, Do not be afraid of them. Remember the Lord, who is great and terrible, and fight for your brothers, your sons, and your daughters, yourwives, and your houses. 15 And it happened, when our enemies heard that it was known to us, and that God had broken their counsel, all of us returned to the wall, each one to his work.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And our adversaries said, they shall not know,.... Our designs upon them:
neither see; or perceive what we are about to do:
till we come in the midst of them; with an army suddenly, at an unawares, and unexpected:
and slay them; they being unarmed, and not prepared to defend themselves:
and cause the work to cease; as it must in course, the builders being slain.
