Ezra 7:27-28

Lexham English Bible

²⁷ Blessed be Yahweh the God of our ancestors,^[a] who put this in the heart of the king to glorify the house of Yahweh in Jerusalem ²⁸ and who extended to me loyal love before the king and his counselors, and before all of the mighty officials of the king. I took courage, for the hand of Yahweh my God was upon me, and I gathered leaders from Israel to go up with me.
