Now these [are] thy servants

<03027>_.
O Lord
<0136>_,
<0136>_,
I beseech
<0577>
<0577>
thee, let now thine ear
<0241>
<0241>
be attentive
<07183>
<07183>

<05650>_,
and to the prayer
<08605>
<08605>
of thy servants
<05650>_,
<05650>_,
who desire
<02655>
<02655>
thy name
<08034>_:
<08034>_:
I pray thee, thy servant
<05650>
<05650>
this day
<03117>_,
<03117>_,

<07356>
<07356>
in the sight
<06440>
<06440>
of this man
<0376>_.
<0376>_.
For I was the king's
<04428>
<04428>
And it came to pass in the month
<02320>
<02320>
Nisan
<05212>_,
<05212>_,
in the twentieth
<06242>
<06242>
year
<08141>
<08141>
of Artaxerxes
<0783>
<0783>
the king
<04428>_,
<04428>_,
[that] wine
<03196>
<03196>

<06440>
<06440>
the wine
<03196>_,
<03196>_,
[it] unto the king
<04428>_.
<04428>_.
Now I had not been [beforetime] sad
<07451>
<07451>
in his presence
<06440>_.
<06440>_.
Wherefore the king
<04428>
<04428>
unto me, Why [is] thy countenance
<06440>
<06440>
sad
<07451>_,
<07451>_,
this [is] nothing [else] but sorrow
<07455>
<07455>
of heart
<03820>_.
<03820>_.
Then I was very
<03966>
<03966>
unto the king
<04428>_,
<04428>_,
Let the king
<04428>
<04428>

<05769>_:
<05769>_:
why should not my countenance
<06440>
<06440>

<0784>_?
unto the king
<04428>_,
<04428>_,
the king
<04428>_,
<04428>_,
and if thy servant
<05650>

And the king
<04428>
<04428>
unto me, (the queen
<07694>
<07694>
by him
<0681>,)
<0681>,)
For how long shall thy journey
<04109>

<04428>
<04428>

<02165>_.
{queen: Heb. wife}<02165>_.
unto the king
<04428>_,
<04428>_,

<04428>_,
<04428>_,
let letters

into Judah
<03063>_;
<03063>_;
And a letter
<0107>
<0107>
unto Asaph
<0623>
<0623>
of the king's
<04428>
<04428>
forest
<06508>_,
<06508>_,

<06086>
<06086>
for the gates
<08179>
<08179>
of the palace
<01002>
<01002>
which [appertained] to the house
<01004>_,
<01004>_,
and for the wall
<02346>
<02346>
of the city
<05892>_,
<05892>_,
and for the house
<01004>
<01004>
And the king
<04428>
<04428>
me, according to the good
<02896>
<02896>
hand
<03027>
<03027>
of my God
<0430>
upon me.<0430>
to the governors

Now the king

When Sanballat

<02896>
of the children

<01121>
of Israel
<03478>_.
<03478>_.
in the night

<04592>
<04592>
men
<0582>
<0582>
I [any] man
<0120>
<0120>
what my God
<0430>
<0430>
in my heart
<03820>
<03820>
at Jerusalem
<03389>_:
<03389>_:
neither [was there any] beast
<0929>
<0929>
with me, save the beast
<0929>
<0929>
by night
<03915>
<03915>
by the gate
<08179>
<08179>
of the valley
<01516>_,
<01516>_,
even before
<06440>
<06440>
the dragon
<08577>
<08577>
and to the dung
<0830>
<0830>
port
<08179>_,
<08179>_,
the walls
<02346>
<02346>
of Jerusalem
<03389>_,

and to the king's
<04428>

but [there was] no place
<04725>

And the rulers

<04399>_.
the distress
<07451>
<07451>

that we be no more a reproach
<02781>_.
<02781>_.
them of the hand
<03027>
<03027>
of my God
<0430>
<0430>
which was good
<02896>
<02896>
upon me; as also the king's

But when Sanballat

What [is] this thing
