Nehemiah 2:1-8

And it came to pass in the month
<02320>
Nisan
<05212>_,
in the twentieth
<06242>
year
<08141>
of Artaxerxes
<0783>
the king
<04428>_,
[that] wine
<03196>
[was] before
<06440>
him: and I took up
<05375> (8799)
the wine
<03196>_,
and gave
<05414> (8799)
[it] unto the king
<04428>_.
Now I had not been [beforetime] sad
<07451>
in his presence
<06440>_.
Wherefore the king
<04428>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto me, Why [is] thy countenance
<06440>
sad
<07451>_,
seeing thou [art] not sick
<02470> (8802)_?
this [is] nothing [else] but sorrow
<07455>
of heart
<03820>_.
Then I was very
<03966>
sore
<07235> (8687)
afraid
<03372> (8799)_,
And said
<0559> (8799)
unto the king
<04428>_,
Let the king
<04428>
live
<02421> (8799)
for ever
<05769>_:
why should not my countenance
<06440>
be sad
<03415> (8799)_,
when the city
<05892>_,
the place
<01004>
of my fathers
<01>_'
sepulchres
<06913>_,
[lieth] waste
<02720>_,
and the gates
<08179>
thereof are consumed
<0398> (8795)
with fire
<0784>_?
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.
