  • NE-2:1 And it came to pass in the month Nisan, in the twentieth

  • year of



  • Artaxerxes the king, [that] wine [was] before him: and I took up

  • the wine, and



  • gave [it] unto the king. Now I had not been [beforetime] sad in

  • his presence.



  • NE-2:2 Wherefore the king said unto me, Why [is] thy

  • countenance sad, seeing



  • thou [art] not sick? this [is] nothing [else] but sorrow of

  • heart. Then I was



  • very sore afraid,



  • NE-2:3 And said unto the king, Let the king live for ever: why

  • should not my



  • countenance be sad, when the city, the place of my fathers'

  • sepulchres,



  • [lieth] waste, and the gates thereof are consumed with fire?



  • NE-2:4 Then the king said unto me, For what dost thou make

  • request? So I



  • prayed to the God of heaven.



  • NE-2:5 And I said unto the king, If it please the king, and if

  • thy servant



  • have found favour in thy sight, that thou wouldest send me unto

  • Judah, unto



  • the city of my fathers' sepulchres, that I may build it.



  • NE-2:6 And the king said unto me, (the queen also sitting by

  • him,) For how



  • long shall thy journey be? and when wilt thou return? So it

  • pleased the king



  • to send me; and I set him a time.



  • NE-2:7 Moreover I said unto the king, If it please the king,

  • let letters be



  • given me to the governors beyond the river, that they may convey

  • me over till



  • I come into Judah;



  • NE-2:8 And a letter unto Asaph the keeper of the king's forest,

  • that he may



  • give me timber to make beams for the gates of the palace which

  • [appertained]



  • to the house, and for the wall of the city, and for the house

  • that I shall



  • enter into. And the king granted me, according to the good hand

  • of my God upon



  • me.



  • NE-2:9 Then I came to the governors beyond the river, and gave

  • them the



  • king's letters. Now the king had sent captains of the army and

  • horsemen with



  • me.



  • NE-2:10 When Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah the servant,

  • the Ammonite,



  • heard [of it], it grieved them exceedingly that there was come a

  • man to seek



  • the welfare of the children of Israel.



  • NE-2:11 So I came to Jerusalem, and was there three days.



  • NE-2:12 And I arose in the night, I and some few men with me;

  • neither told I



  • [any] man what my God had put in my heart to do at Jerusalem:

  • neither [was



  • there any] beast with me, save the beast that I rode upon.



  • NE-2:13 And I went out by night by the gate of the valley, even

  • before the



  • dragon well, and to the dung port, and viewed the walls of

  • Jerusalem, which



  • were broken down, and the gates thereof were consumed with fire.



  • NE-2:14 Then I went on to the gate of the fountain, and to the

  • king's pool:



  • but [there was] no place for the beast [that was] under me to

  • pass.



  • NE-2:15 Then went I up in the night by the brook, and viewed

  • the wall, and



  • turned back, and entered by the gate of the valley, and [so]

  • returned.



  • NE-2:16 And the rulers knew not whither I went, or what I did;

  • neither had I



  • as yet told [it] to the Jews, nor to the priests, nor to the

  • nobles, nor to



  • the rulers, nor to the rest that did the work.



  • NE-2:17 Then said I unto them, Ye see the distress that we

  • [are] in, how



  • Jerusalem [lieth] waste, and the gates thereof are burned with

  • fire: come, and



  • let us build up the wall of Jerusalem, that we be no more a

  • reproach.



  • NE-2:18 Then I told them of the hand of my God which was good

  • upon me; as



  • also the king's words that he had spoken unto me. And they said,

  • Let us rise



  • up and build. So they strengthened their hands for [this] good

  • [work].



  • NE-2:19 But when Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah the servant,

  • the



  • Ammonite, and Geshem the Arabian, heard [it], they laughed us to

  • scorn, and



  • despised us, and said, What [is] this thing that ye do? will ye

  • rebel against



  • the king?



  • NE-2:20 Then answered I them, and said unto them, The God of

  • heaven, he will



  • prosper us; therefore we his servants will arise and build: but

  • ye have no



  • portion, nor right, nor memorial, in Jerusalem.
