Nehemiah 2:4-8
4Then the kingH4428 saidH559 to me, For what dost thou make requestH1245? So I prayedH6419 to the GodH430 of heavenH8064. 5And I saidH559 to the kingH4428, If it should pleaseH2895 the kingH4428, and if thy servantH5650 hath found favourH3190 in thy sightH6440, that thou wouldest sendH7971 me to JudahH3063, to the cityH5892 of my fathersH1’ sepulchresH6913, that I may buildH1129 it. 6And the kingH4428 saidH559 to me, (the queenH7694 also sittingH3427 by himH681,) For how long shall thy journeyH4109 be? and when wilt thou returnH7725? So it pleasedH3190H6440 the kingH4428 to sendH7971 me; and I setH5414 him a timeH2165.1 7Moreover I saidH559 to the kingH4428, If it should pleaseH2895 the kingH4428, let lettersH107 be givenH5414 me to the governorsH6346 beyondH5676 the riverH5104, that they may let me pass throughH5674 till I comeH935 into JudahH3063; 8And a letterH107 to AsaphH623 the keeperH8104 of the king’sH4428 forestH6508, that he may giveH5414 me timberH6086 to make beamsH7136 for the gatesH8179 of the palaceH1002 which is near to the houseH1004, and for the wallH2346 of the cityH5892, and for the houseH1004 that I shall enterH935. And the kingH4428 grantedH5414 me, according to the goodH2896 handH3027 of my GodH430 upon me.
