if you return to him.”
Ezra 7:6

Lord God of Israel had given. The king supplied him with everything he requested, for the hand of the
Lord his God was on him.
Ezra 7:27-28
7:27 Blessed be the Lord God of our fathers, who so moved in the heart of the king to so honor the temple of the Lord which is in Jerusalem!

Nehemiah 1:11
1:11 Please,
O Lord, listen attentively

Nehemiah 2:4-8
2:4 The king responded,
“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
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.”
2:6 Then the king, with his consort
sitting beside him, replied, “How long would your trip take, and when would you return?” Since the king was amenable to dispatching me,
I gave him a time.
2:7 I said to the king, “If the king is so inclined, let him give me letters for the governors of Trans-Euphrates
that will enable me to travel safely until I reach Judah,
2:8 and a letter for Asaph the keeper of the king’s nature preserve,
so that he will give me timber for beams for the gates of the fortress adjacent to the temple and for the city wall
and for the house to which I go.” So the king granted me these requests,
for the good hand of my God was on me.

responded to Daniel, “I fear my master the king. He is the one who has decided

If that happened,
you would endanger my life
with the king!”
