Nehemiah 2:8

Nehemiah Sent

⁷ Further, I said to the king: If it is the king's pleasure, let letters be given to me for the rulers across the river so that they may let me go through till I come to Judah. ⁸ and a letter to Asaph the keeper of the king’s forest, that he may give me timber to make beams for the gates of the fortress which is by the temple, for the wall of the city and for the house to which I will go.” And the king granted them to me because the good hand of my God was on me. ⁹ Then I came to the rulers of the lands across the river and gave them the king's letters. Now the king sent with me captains of the army and horsemen.
