@ And it came to pass in the
month
Nisan
, in the
twentieth
year
of
Artaxerxes
the
king
, that
wine
was
before
him: and I took
up
the
wine
, and
gave
it unto the
king
. Now I had not been beforetime
sad
in his
presence
.
strkjv@Nehemiah:2:2
@ Wherefore the
king
said
unto me, Why is thy
countenance
sad
, seeing thou art not
sick
? this is nothing else but
sorrow
of
heart
. Then I was
very
sore
afraid
,
strkjv@Nehemiah:2:3
@ And
said
unto the
king
, Let the
king
live
for
ever
: why should not my
countenance
be
sad
, when the
city
, the
place
of my
fathers
sepulchres
, lieth
waste
, and the
gates
thereof are
consumed
with
fire
?
strkjv@Nehemiah:2:4
@ Then the
king
said
unto me, For what dost thou make
request
? So I
prayed
to the
God
of
heaven
.
strkjv@Nehemiah:2:5
@ And I
said
unto the
king
, If it
please
the
king
, and if thy
servant
have found
favour
in thy
sight
, that thou wouldest
send
me unto
Judah
, unto the
city
of my
fathers
sepulchres
, that I may
build
it.
strkjv@Nehemiah:2:6
@ And the
king
said
unto me, (the
queen
also
sitting
by
him
, ) For how long shall thy
journey
be? and when wilt thou
return
? So it
pleased
the
king
to
send
me; and I
set
him a
time
.
strkjv@Nehemiah:2:7
@ Moreover I
said
unto the
king
, If it
please
the
king
, let
letters
be
given
me to the
governors
beyond
the
river
, that they may convey me
over
till I
come
into
Judah
;
strkjv@Nehemiah:2:8
@ And a
letter
unto
Asaph
the
keeper
of the
kings
forest
, that he may
give
me
timber
to make
beams
for the
gates
of the
palace
which appertained to the
house
, and for the
wall
of the
city
, and for the
house
that I shall enter
into
. And the
king
granted
me, according to the
good
hand
of my
God
upon me.
