Nehemiah 2:1-8

Nehemiah Sent to Judah

1 In the month of Nisan, ^kin the twentieth year of King ^lArtaxerxes, when wine was before him, ^mI took up the wine and gave it to the king. Now I had not been sad in his presence. 2 And the king said to me, “Why is your face sad, seeing you are not sick? This is nothing but ⁿsadness of the heart.” Then I was very much afraid. 3 I said to the king, ^o“Let the king live forever! Why should not my face be sad, ^pwhen the city, the place of my fathers’ graves, lies in ruins, and its gates have been destroyed by fire?” 4 Then the king said to me, “What are you requesting?” So I prayed ^qto the God of heaven. 5 And I said to the king, “If it pleases the king, and if your servant has found favor in your sight, that you send me to Judah, to the city of my fathers’ graves, that I may rebuild it.” 6 And the king said to me ( ^rthe queen sitting beside him), “How long will you be gone, and when will you return?” So it pleased the king to send me ^swhen I had given him a time. 7 And I said to the king, “If it pleases the king, let letters be given me ^tto the governors of the province Beyond the River, that they may let me pass through until I come to Judah, 8 and a letter to Asaph, the keeper of the king’s forest, that he may give me timber to make beams for the gates of ^uthe fortress of the temple, and for the wall of the city, and for the house that I shall occupy.” And the king granted me what I asked, ^vfor the good hand of my God was upon me.
