Nehemiah 2:7-9
7I also saidH559 toH4428 him, “IfH518 it pleasesH2896 the kingH4428, may lettersH107 be givenH5414 to me forH5921 the governorsH6346 westH5676 of the EuphratesH5104,1 so thatH834 they will grant me safe passageH5674 untilH5704 I reachH935H413 JudahH3063. 8And may I have a letterH107 toH413 AsaphH623, keeperH8104 of the king’sH834H4428 forestH6508, so thatH834 he will giveH5414 me timberH6086 to make beamsH7136 forH853 the gatesH8179 of the citadelH1002 to the templeH1004, for the cityH5892 wallH2346, and for the houseH1004 I will occupyH935H413.”
And because the graciousH2896 handH3027 of my GodH430 was upon meH5921, the kingH4428 grantedH5414 my requests.
9Then I wentH935 toH413 the governorsH6346 westH5676 of the EuphratesH5104 and gaveH5414 them the king’sH4428 lettersH107. The kingH4428 had also sentH7971 armyH2428 officersH8269 and cavalryH6571 with meH5973.
