Nehemiah 2: NEHEMIAH OBTAINED FAVOR FROM THE KING TO REBUILD THE WALLS OF JERUSALEM!

Then the king said to me, “What do you request?” So I prayed to the God of heaven.  Furthermore I said to the king, “If it pleases the king, let letters be given to me for the governors of the region beyond the River, that they must permit me to pass through till I come to Judah, and a letter to Asaph the keeper of the king’s forest, that he must give me timber to make beams for the gates of the citadel which pertains to the temple, for the city wall, and for the house that I will occupy.” And the king granted them to me according to the good hand of my God upon me. Nehemiah 2:4, 7-8
