Die, welche an der Mauer bauten, und die Lastträger, welche aufluden; mit einer Hand arbeiteten sie an dem Werk, und die andere hielt die Waffe.

Rashi on Nehemiah
the sword Heb. הַשָּׁלַח, an implement of war, like (Job 33:18): “...from perishing by the sword (מֵעֲבֹר בַּשָּׁלַח). And so did Menahem associate it (Machbereth Menahem p. 174).
