Artaxerxes the king, wine `is&#8217; before him, and I lift up the wine, and give to the king, and I had not been sad before him; <\/br><strong>2<\/strong> and the king saith to me, `Wherefore `is&#8217; thy face sad, and thou not sick? this is nothing except sadness of heart;&#8217; and I fear very much, <\/br><strong>3<\/strong> and say to the king, `Let the king to the age live! wherefore should not my face be sad, when the city, the place of the graves of my fathers, `is&#8217; a waste, and its gates have been consumed with fire?&#8217; <\/br><strong>4<\/strong> And the king saith to me, `For what art thou seeking?&#8217; and I pray unto the God of the heavens, <\/br><strong>5<\/strong> and say to the king, `If to the king `it be&#8217; good, and if thy servant be pleasing before thee, that thou send me unto Judah, unto the city of the graves of my fathers, and I built it.&#8217; <\/br><strong>6<\/strong> And the king saith to me (and the queen is sitting near him), `How long is thy journey? and when dost thou return?&#8217; and it is good before the king, and he sendeth me away, and I set to him a time. <\/br><strong>7<\/strong> And I say to the king, `If to the king `it be&#8217; good, letters let be given to me for the governors beyond the River, that they let me pass over till that I come in unto Judah: <\/br><strong>8<\/strong> and a letter unto Asaph, keeper of the paradise that the king hath, that he give to me trees for beams `for&#8217; the gates of the palace that the house hath, and for the wall of the city, and for the house into which I enter;&#8217; and the king giveth to me, according to the good hand of my God upon me. <\/br><strong>9<\/strong> And I come in unto the governors beyond the River, and give to them the letters of the king; and the king sendeth with me heads of a force, and horsemen; <\/br><strong>10<\/strong> and Sanballat the Horonite heareth, and Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite, and it is evil to them &#8212; a great evil &#8212; that a man hath come in to seek good for the sons of Israel. <\/br><strong>11<\/strong> And I come in unto Jerusalem, and I am there three days, <\/br><strong>12<\/strong> and I rise by night, I and a few men with me, and have not declared to a man what my God is giving unto my heart to do for Jerusalem, and there is no beast with me except the beast on which I am riding. <\/br><strong>13<\/strong> And I go out through the gate of the valley by night, and unto the front of the fountain of the dragon, and unto the gate of the dunghill, and I am measuring about the walls of Jerusalem, that are broken down, and its gates consumed with fire. <\/br><strong>14<\/strong> And I pass over unto the gate of the fountain, and unto the pool of the king, and there is no place for the beast under me to pass over, <\/br><strong>15<\/strong> and I am going up through the brook by night, and am measuring about the wall, and turn back, and come in through the gate of the valley, and turn back. <\/br><strong>16<\/strong> And the prefects have not known whither I have gone, and what I am doing; and to the Jews, and to the priests, and to the freemen, and to the prefects, and to the rest of those doing the work, hitherto I have not declared `it&#8217;; <\/br><strong>17<\/strong> and I say unto them, `Ye are seeing the evil that we are in, in that Jerusalem `is&#8217; waste, and its gates have been burnt with fire; come and we build the wall of Jerusalem, and we are not any more a reproach.&#8217; <\/br><strong>18<\/strong> And I declare to them the hand of my God that is good upon me, and also the words of the king that he said to me, and they say, `Let us rise, and we have built;&#8217; and they strengthen their hands for good. <\/br><strong>19<\/strong> And Sanballat the Horonite heareth, and Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite, and Geshem the Arabian, and they mock at us, and despise us, and say, `What `is&#8217; this thing that ye are doing? against the king are ye rebelling?&#8217; <\/br><strong>20<\/strong> And I return them word, and say to them, `The God of the heavens &#8212; He doth give prosperity to us, and we His servants rise and have built; and to you there is no portion, and right, and memorial in Jerusalem.&#8217; <\/br><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n    google_ad_client =
