*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 ;
*
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 .
*
Then I came to the governors beyond the river ,
and gave them the kings letters .
Now the king had sent captains of the army and horsemen with me .
