Nehemiah 2:4-8
4Then the kingH4428 saidH559 unto me, For what dost thou make request? So I prayedH6419 to the GodH430 of heavenH8064. 5And I saidH559 unto the kingH4428, If it please the kingH4428, and if thy servantH5650 have found favor in thy sight, that thou wouldest sendH7971 me unto JudahH3063, unto the cityH5892 of my fathers’H1 sepulchres, that I may buildH1129 it. 6And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto me (the queen also sittingH3427 by him), For how long shall thy journeyH4109 beH1961? and when wilt thou returnH7725? So it pleased the kingH4428 to sendH7971 me; and I setH5414 him a timeH2165. 7Moreover I saidH559 unto the kingH4428, If it please the kingH4428, let lettersH107 be givenH5414 me to the governorsH6346 beyond the RiverH5104, that they may let me passH5674 through till I comeH935 unto JudahH3063; 8and a letterH107 unto AsaphH623 the keeperH8104 of the king’sH4428 forest, that he may giveH5414 me timber to makeH5414 beams for the gatesH8179 of the castle which appertaineth to the houseH1004, and for the wallH2346 of the cityH5892, and for the houseH1004 that I shall enter into. And the kingH4428 granted me, according to the goodH2896 handH3027 of my GodH430 upon me.
