Nehemiah 2
3 Ref 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' a waste, and its gates have been consumed with fire?'
4 Ref And the king saith to me, `For what art thou seeking?' and I pray unto the God of the heavens,
5 Ref and say to the king, `If to the king `it be' 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.'
