Nehemiah 1:9
repent <07725> [if ye turn.]
gather <06908> [yet will I.]
bring <0935> [will bring.]
place <04725> [the place.]
Nehemiah 2:6
consort <07694> [the queen. Heb. the wife.]
It was probably Esther who was present at this time, and who seconded Nehemiah's request.
<03190> [So it pleased.]
gave .... time <02165 05414> [I set him a time.]
It is probable that this time was no more than six months, or a year; after which he either returned, or had his leave of absence lengthened, as we find he was twelve years governor of the Jews.
