Nehemiah 2:4-6

Darby Translation

⁴ And the king said to me, For what dost thou make request? So I prayed to the God of the heavens.

⁵ And I said to the king, If it please the king, and if thy servant have found favour in thy sight, that thou wouldest send me to Judah, to the city of my fathers' sepulchres, that I may build it.

⁶ And the king said to me—the queen also sitting by him,—For how long shall thy journey be, and when wilt thou return? And it pleased the king to send me; and I set him a time.
