4:16-20
Nehemiah split the men into those who did the work, and those who provided the armed protection. The builders also carried a sword. Nehemiah also had a man who stayed with him, and was ready to blow the trumpet to rally people, probably if an all out attack was happening.
4:21-23
Nehemiah had everyone ready to fight off any attack, and he provided a good example himself, always ready to fight. In a church everyone should be equipped to defend themselves and others, not just leaving everything to the leaders.
