Legacy Standard Bible

God’s Hand Was on Nehemiah

2 Now it happened in the month Nisan, ^(A)in the twentieth year of King ^(B)Artaxerxes, that wine was before him, and ^(C)I took up the wine and gave it to the king. Now I had not been sad in his presence. ² So the king said to me, “Why is your face sad though you are not sick? ^(D)This is nothing but sadness of heart.” Then I was very much afraid.
