Nehemiah:2:3-5

*
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 .
*
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 .
