7And I saidH559 to the kingH4428, “IfH518 it pleasesH2895 the kingH4428, let lettersH107 be givenH5414 me 1for the governorsH6346 of the provinces beyondH5676 the RiverH5104, so that they will allow me to passH5674 throughH5674 untilH5704H834 I comeH935 to JudahH3063, 8and a letterH107 to AsaphH623 the keeperH8104 of the king’sH4428 2forestH6508, soH834 thatH834 he will giveH5414 me timberH6086 to makeH7136 beamsH7136 for the gatesH8179 of 3the citadelH1002 whichH834 is by the 4templeH1004, for the wallH2346 of the cityH5892, and for the houseH1004 to whichH834 I will goH935.” And the kingH4428 grantedH5414 them to me because 5the goodH2896 handH3027 of my GodH430 was on me.

9Then I cameH935 to 6the governorsH6346 of the provinces beyondH5676 the Euphrates RiverH5104 and gaveH5414 them the king’sH4428 lettersH107. Now 7the kingH4428 had sentH7971 with me officersH8269 of the armyH2428 and horsemenH6571.
