Nehemiah:2:1-4
Seeker Overlay ON
*
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 .
*
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 ,
*
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 ?
*
Then the king said unto me ,
For what dost thou make request ?
So I prayed to the God of heaven .
