20 and 220 of (A)the temple servants, whom David and the princes had given for the service of the Levites, all of them designated by name.
God’s Protection Sought
21 Then I called for (B)a fast there at (C)the river of Ahava, that we might (D)humble ourselves before our God to seek from Him a [a]direct journey for us, our little ones, and all our possessions. 22 For I was ashamed to ask from the king for a military force and horsemen to help us against the enemy on the way, because we had said to the king, “(E)The hand of our God is upon all those who seek Him, for their good, but (F)His strength and His anger are against all those who (G)forsake Him.”
