Chapter 2
Back to ChaptersKJV - Nehemiah 2:8 And a letter unto Asaph the keeper of the king’s forest, that he may give me timber to make beams for the gates of the palace which appertained to the house, and for the wall of the city, and for the house that I shall enter into. And the king granted me, according to the good hand of my God upon me. A letter was written to Asaph, who looked after the king's forest. The purpose was to request wood for making gates and walls for the palace and city, as well as for a new house. The king agreed, showing his favor through providing the needed resources.
