And it cometh to pass ,
in the month of Nisan ,
the twentieth year of Artaxerxes the king ,
wine [
is ]
before him ,
and I lift up the wine ,
and give to the king ,
and I had not been sad before him ;
ylt @
Nehemiah:2:2 @
and the king saith to me , '
Wherefore [
is ]
thy face sad ,
and thou not sick ?
this is nothing except sadness of heart ;'
and I fear very much ,
ylt @
Nehemiah:2:3 @
and say to the king , '
Let the king to the age live !
wherefore should not my face be sad ,
when the city ,
the place of the graves of my fathers , [
is ]
a waste ,
and its gates have been consumed with fire ?'

Nehemiah:2:4 @
And the king saith to me , '
For what art thou seeking ?'
and I pray unto the God of the heavens ,

Nehemiah:2:5 @
and say to the king , '
If to the king [
it be ]
good ,
and if thy servant be pleasing before thee ,
that thou send me unto Judah ,
unto the city of the graves of my fathers ,
and I built it .'

Nehemiah:2:6 @
And the king saith to me (
and the queen is sitting near him ), '
How long is thy journey ?
and when dost thou return ?'
and it is good before the king ,
and he sendeth me away ,
and I set to him a time .

And I say to the king , '
If to the king [
it be ]
good ,
letters let be given to me for the governors beyond the River ,
that they let me pass over till that I come in unto Judah :

and a letter unto Asaph ,
keeper of the paradise that the king hath ,
that he give to me trees for beams [
for ]
the gates of the palace that the house hath ,
and for the wall of the city ,
and for the house into which I enter ;'
and the king giveth to me ,
according to the good hand of my God upon me .

and give to them the letters of the king ;
and the king sendeth with me heads of a force ,
and horsemen ;

and Sanballat the Horonite heareth ,
and Tobiah the servant ,
the Ammonite ,
and it is evil to them --
a great evil --
that a man hath come in to seek good for the sons of Israel .
