Nehemiah 1:11
1:11 Please,
O Lord, listen attentively
to the prayer of your servant and to the prayer of your servants who take pleasure in showing respect
to your name. Grant your servant success today and show compassion to me
in the presence of this man.”
Now I was cupbearer for the king.
Nehemiah 5:15
5:15 But the former governors who preceded me had burdened the people and had taken food and wine from them, in addition to
forty shekels of silver. Their associates were also domineering over the people. But I did not behave in this way, due to my fear of God.
Nehemiah 6:10
6:10 Then I went to the house of Shemaiah son of Delaiah, the son of Mehetabel. He was confined to his home. He said, “Let’s set up a time to meet in the house of God, within the temple. Let’s close the doors of the temple, for they are coming to kill you. It will surely be at night that they will come to kill you.”
