Nehemiah 2:1-2

International Children’s Bible

Nehemiah Is Sent to Jerusalem

2 It was the month of Nisan. It was in the twentieth year King Artaxerxes was king. He wanted some wine. So I took some and gave it to the king. I had not been sad in his presence before. ² So the king said, “Why does your face look sad? You are not sick. Your heart must be sad.”

Then I was very afraid.
