Nehemiah 2:4-20

Then the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto me, For what dost thou make request
<01245> (8764)_?

So I prayed
<06419> (8691)

to the God
<0430>

of heaven
<08064>_.

And I said
<0559> (8799)

unto the king
<04428>_,

If it please
<02895> (8804)

the king
<04428>_,

and if thy servant
<05650>

have found favour
<03190> (8799)

in thy sight
<06440>_,

that thou wouldest send
<07971> (8799)

me unto Judah
<03063>_,

unto the city
<05892>

of my fathers
<01>_'

sepulchres
<06913>_,

that I may build
<01129> (8799)

it.

And the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto me, (the queen
<07694>

also sitting
<03427> (8802)

by him
<0681>,)

For how long shall thy journey
<04109>

be? and when wilt thou return
<07725> (8799)_?

So it pleased
<03190> (8799) <06440>

the king
<04428>

to send
<07971> (8799)

me; and I set
<05414> (8799)

him a time
<02165>_.

{queen: Heb. wife}

Moreover I said
<0559> (8799)

unto the king
<04428>_,

If it please
<02895> (8804)

the king
<04428>_,

let letters
<0107>

be given
<05414> (8799)

me to the governors
<06346>

beyond
<05676>

the river
<05104>_,

that they may convey me over
<05674> (8686)

till I come
<0935> (8799)

into Judah
<03063>_;

And a letter
<0107>

unto Asaph
<0623>

the keeper
<08104> (8802)

of the king's
<04428>

forest
<06508>_,

that he may give
<05414> (8799)

me timber
<06086>

to make beams
<07136> (8763)

for the gates
<08179>

of the palace
<01002>

which [appertained] to the house
<01004>_,

and for the wall
<02346>

of the city
<05892>_,

and for the house
<01004>

that I shall enter into
<0935> (8799)_.

And the king
<04428>

granted
<05414> (8799)

me, according to the good
<02896>

hand
<03027>

of my God
<0430>

upon me.

Then I came
<0935> (8799)

to the governors
<06346>

beyond
<05676>

the river
<05104>_,

and gave
<05414> (8799)

them the king's
<04428>

letters
<0107>_.

Now the king
<04428>

had sent
<07971> (8799)

captains
<08269>

of the army
<02428>

and horsemen
<06571>

with me.

When Sanballat
<05571>

the Horonite
<02772>_,

and Tobiah
<02900>

the servant
<05650>_,

the Ammonite
<05984>_,

heard
<08085> (8799)

[of it], it grieved
<03415> (8799)

them exceedingly
<07451> <01419>

that there was come
<0935> (8804)

a man
<0120>

to seek
<01245> (8763)

the welfare
<02896>

of the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_.

So I came
<0935> (8799)

to Jerusalem
<03389>_,

and was there three
<07969>

days
<03117>_.

And I arose
<06965> (8799)

in the night
<03915>_,

I and some
<04592>

few
<04592>

men
<0582>

with me; neither told
<05046> (8689)

I [any] man
<0120>

what my God
<0430>

had put
<05414> (8802)

in my heart
<03820>

to do
<06213> (8800)

at Jerusalem
<03389>_:

neither [was there any] beast
<0929>

with me, save the beast
<0929>

that I rode upon
<07392> (8802)_.

And I went out
<03318> (8799)

by night
<03915>

by the gate
<08179>

of the valley
<01516>_,

even before
<06440>

the dragon
<08577>

well
<05869> (8677) <05886>_,

and to the dung
<0830>

port
<08179>_,

and viewed
<07663> (8802) (8675) <07665> (8799)

the walls
<02346>

of Jerusalem
<03389>_,

which were broken down
<06555> (8803)_,

and the gates
<08179>

thereof were consumed
<0398> (8795)

with fire
<0784>_.

Then I went on
<05674> (8799)

to the gate
<08179>

of the fountain
<05869>_,

and to the king's
<04428>

pool
<01295>_:

but [there was] no place
<04725>

for the beast
<0929>

[that was] under me to pass
<05674> (8800)_.

Then went I up
<05927> (8802)

in the night
<03915>

by the brook
<05158>_,

and viewed
<07663> (8802) (8675) <07665> (8799)

the wall
<02346>_,

and turned back
<07725> (8799)_,

and entered
<0935> (8799)

by the gate
<08179>

of the valley
<01516>_,

and [so] returned
<07725> (8799)_.

And the rulers
<05461>

knew
<03045> (8804)

not whither I went
<01980> (8804)_,

or what I did
<06213> (8802)_;

neither had I as yet
<03651>

told
<05046> (8689)

[it] to the Jews
<03064>_,

nor to the priests
<03548>_,

nor to the nobles
<02715>_,

nor to the rulers
<05461>_,

nor to the rest
<03499>

that did
<06213> (8802)

the work
<04399>_.

Then said
<0559> (8799)

I unto them, Ye see
<07200> (8802)

the distress
<07451>

that we [are] in, how Jerusalem
<03389>

[lieth] waste
<02720>_,

and the gates
<08179>

thereof are burned
<03341> (8738)

with fire
<0784>_:

come
<03212> (8798)_,

and let us build up
<01129> (8799)

the wall
<02346>

of Jerusalem
<03389>_,

that we be no more a reproach
<02781>_.

Then I told
<05046> (8686)

them of the hand
<03027>

of my God
<0430>

which was good
<02896>

upon me; as also the king's
<04428>

words
<01697>

that he had spoken
<0559> (8804)

unto me. And they said
<0559> (8799)_,

Let us rise up
<06965> (8799)

and build
<01129> (8804)_.

So they strengthened
<02388> (8762)

their hands
<03027>

for [this] good
<02896>

[work].

But when Sanballat
<05571>

the Horonite
<02772>_,

and Tobiah
<02900>

the servant
<05650>_,

the Ammonite
<05984>_,

and Geshem
<01654>

the Arabian
<06163>_,

heard
<08085> (8799)

[it], they laughed us to scorn
<03932> (8686)_,

and despised
<0959> (8799)

us, and said
<0559> (8799)_,

What [is] this thing
<01697>

that ye do
<06213> (8802)_?

will ye rebel
<04775> (8802)

against the king
<04428>_?

Then answered
<07725> (8686) <01697>

I them, and said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, The God
<0430>

of heaven
<08064>_,

he will prosper
<06743> (8686)

us; therefore we his servants
<05650>

will arise
<06965> (8799)

and build
<01129> (8804)_:

but ye have no portion
<02506>_,

nor right
<06666>_,

nor memorial
<02146>_,

in Jerusalem
<03389>_.
