Nehemiah 2 (KJV)

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.

Then the king

said

unto me, For

what

dost thou

make request?

So I prayed

the God

of heaven.

And I said

unto the king,

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.

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.

Moreover I said

unto the king,

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;

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.

So I came

the chief city of Palestine and capital of the united kingdom and the nation of Judah after the split Usage Yruwshalaim Phonetic yer-oo-shaw-lah'-im Part of Speech Jerusalem = 'teaching of peace'

the chief city of Palestine and capital of the united kingdom and the nation of Judah after the split

Definition rarely Yruwshalayim {yer-oo- shaw-lah'-yim}; a dual (in allusion to its two main hills (the true pointing, at least of the former reading, seems to be that of «03390»)); probably from (the passive participle of) «03384» and «07999»; founded peaceful; Jerushalaim or Jerushalem, the capital city of Palestine:--Jerusalem. ">Jerusalem,

and was

there

three

days.

And I arose

in the night,

and some few

men

with

me; neither

told

I any man

what

my God

had put

my heart

to do

neither

was there any beast

with

me, save

the beast

that

rode upon.

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

which

were broken down,

and the gates

thereof were consumed

with fire.

Then I went on

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.

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.

And the rulers

knew

not

whither

I went,

or what

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.

Then said

I unto

them, Ye

see

the distress

that

are in, how

the chief city of Palestine and capital of the united kingdom and the nation of Judah after the split Usage Yruwshalaim Phonetic yer-oo-shaw-lah'-im Part of Speech Jerusalem = 'teaching of peace'

the chief city of Palestine and capital of the united kingdom and the nation of Judah after the split

lieth waste,

and the gates

thereof are burned

with fire:

come,

and let us build up

the wall

the chief city of Palestine and capital of the united kingdom and the nation of Judah after the split

that we be

a reproach.

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.

Then answered

I them, and said

unto them, The God

of heaven,

will prosper

us; therefore we

his servants

will arise

and build:

but ye have no

portion,

nor right,

nor memorial,
