Nehemiah 2:1-3

And it came to pass in the month
<02320>

Nisan
<05212>_,

in the twentieth
<06242>

year
<08141>

of Artaxerxes
<0783>

the king
<04428>_,

[that] wine
<03196>

[was] before
<06440>

him: and I took up
<05375> (8799)

the wine
<03196>_,

and gave
<05414> (8799)

[it] unto the king
<04428>_.

Now I had not been [beforetime] sad
<07451>

in his presence
<06440>_.

Wherefore the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto me, Why [is] thy countenance
<06440>

sad
<07451>_,

seeing thou [art] not sick
<02470> (8802)_?

this [is] nothing [else] but sorrow
<07455>

of heart
<03820>_.

Then I was very
<03966>

sore
<07235> (8687)

afraid
<03372> (8799)_,

And said
<0559> (8799)

unto the king
<04428>_,

Let the king
<04428>

live
<02421> (8799)

for ever
<05769>_:

why should not my countenance
<06440>

be sad
<03415> (8799)_,

when the city
<05892>_,

the place
<01004>

of my fathers
<01>_'

sepulchres
<06913>_,

[lieth] waste
<02720>_,

and the gates
<08179>

thereof are consumed
<0398> (8795)

with fire
<0784>_?
