    1In the month of Nisan, in the twentieth year of King Artaxerxes, when wine was brought before him, I picked up the wine and gave it to the king. I had never been sad in his presence before.

    2The king asked me, "Why do you look so sad? You are not ill. This can only be sadness of heart." I was very afraid.

    3But I said to the king, "May the king live forever! Why should my face not be sad when the city where my ancestors are buried lies in ruins and its gates have been destroyed by fire?"

    4The king said to me, "What is it you want?" Then I prayed to the God of heaven,

    5and I said to the king, "If it pleases the king, and if your servant has found favor in your sight, send me to Judah, to the city where my ancestors are buried, so that I can rebuild it."

    6Then the king, with the queen sitting beside him, asked me, "How long will your journey take, and when will you return?" It pleased the king to send me, so I set a time.

    7I also said to the king, "If it pleases the king, may letters be given to me for the governors of the region beyond the Euphrates, so they will allow me to pass through until I arrive in Judah,

    8and may I have a letter to Asaph, the keeper of the royal forest, that he might give me timber to make beams for the gates of the fortress by the temple, for the city wall, and for the house I will occupy." And the king granted my requests, because the gracious hand of my God was on me.
