2:4 The king responded, 1 “What is it you are seeking?” Then I quickly prayed to the God of heaven
2:5 and said to the king, “If the king is so inclined 2 and if your servant has found favor in your sight, dispatch me to Judah, to the city with the graves of my ancestors, so that I can rebuild it.”
1 tnHeb “said to me.”
2 tnHeb “If upon the king it is good.” So also in v. 7.
