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.

9Then I cameH935 to the governorsH6346 beyond the RiverH5104, and gaveH5414 them the king’sH4428 lettersH107. Now the kingH4428 had sentH7971 with me captains of the armyH2428 and horsemenH6571.
