4Then the kingH4428 saidH559 to me, “WhatH4100 would you requestH1245?” 1So I prayedH6419 to the GodH430 of heavenH8064. 5I saidH559 to the kingH4428, “IfH518 it pleaseH2895 the kingH4428, and ifH518 your servantH5650 has foundH3190 favorH3190 beforeH6440 you, sendH7971 me to JudahH3063, to the cityH5892 of my fathers’H1 tombsH6913, that I may rebuildH1129 it.” 6Then the kingH4428 saidH559 to me, the queenH7694 sittingH3427 besideH681 him, “HowH4970 longH5704H4970 will your journeyH4109 be, and whenH4970 will you returnH7725?” So it pleasedH3190 the kingH4428 to sendH7971 me, and 2I gaveH5414 him a definiteH2165 timeH2165. 7And I saidH559 to the kingH4428, “IfH518 it pleaseH2895 the kingH4428, let lettersH107 be givenH5414 me 3for the governorsH6346 of the provinces beyondH5676 the RiverH5104, that they may allow me to passH5674 throughH5674 untilH5704H834 I comeH935 to JudahH3063, 8and a letterH107 to AsaphH623 the keeperH8104 of the king’sH4428 4forestH6508, that he may giveH5414 me timberH6086 to makeH7136 beamsH7136 for the gatesH8179 of 5the fortressH1002 whichH834 is by the 6templeH1004, for the wallH2346 of the cityH5892 and for the houseH1004 to whichH834 I will goH935.” And the kingH4428 grantedH5414 them to me because 7the goodH2896 handH3027 of my GodH430 was on me.
