Nehemías 2:7-9

7 Y dije al rey: Si le agrada al rey, que se me den cartas para los gobernadores de las provincias más allá del río [a] , para que me dejen pasar hasta que llegue a Judá,
8 y una carta para Asaf, guarda del bosque del rey, a fin de que me dé madera para hacer las vigas de las puertas de la fortaleza que está junto al templo, para la muralla de la ciudad y para la casa a la cual iré. Y el rey me lo concedió, porque la mano bondadosa de mi Dios estaba sobre mí.
9 Fui entonces a los gobernadores de más allá del río y les entregué las cartas del rey. Y el rey había enviado conmigo oficiales del ejército y hombres de a caballo.

Nehemías 2:7-9 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO NEHEMIAH 2

Nehemiah being sorrowful in the king's presence, the reason of it was asked by the king, which he declared, and then took the opportunity to request of the king that he might be sent to Jerusalem to rebuild it, which was granted him, Ne 2:1-8, upon which he set out, and came to Jerusalem, to the great grief of the enemies of Israel, Ne 2:9-11 and after he had been three days in Jerusalem, he privately took a survey of it, to see what condition it was in, unknown to the rulers there, Ne 2:12-16, whom he afterwards exhorted to rise up and build the wall of the city, which they immediately set about, Ne 2:17,18 not regarding the scoffs and taunts of their enemies, Ne 2:19,20.
