'Asked' in the Bible

Right about then, Trans-Euphrates Governor Tattenai, Shethar-bozenai, and their colleagues approached and challenged them. They asked, "Who authorized you to build this Temple and to reconstruct this wall?"

We asked the elders, "Who authorized you to build this Temple and to reinforce these walls?"

We also asked them their names so that we could certify the identities of their leaders to you.

So we fasted and asked our God about this, and he listened to us.
