Blessed be the Lord God of our fathers, that moved the king so to honour his temple at Jerusalem, (Ezra 7, 27)
and deigned so to aid me when king and councillor and noble gave me audience! My task lightened by such favour shewn me, I set about finding men of name in Israel to bear me company. (Ezra 7, 28)
I would have asked the king for an escort of horsemen to defend us from attack, but shame withheld me; had we not boasted in the king’s presence that our God graciously protected all who had recourse to him, that only faithless servants of his brought down on themselves the constraining power of his vengeance? (Ezra 8, 22)

and, wishing the king long life, I answered, Little wonder if my looks are sad, when the city where my father lies buried is but a wilderness, and its gates blackened with fire. (Nehemiah 2, 3)
What wouldst thou have of me? the king asked. And I, first praying to the God of heaven, (Nehemiah 2, 4)
No question had the king to ask, or his consort that was there beside him, but how long my journey would last? When did I think to return? So the king was content to let me go, and it was for me to name the time of my absence. (Nehemiah 2, 6)
