7 After I said unto the King, If it please the King, let them give me letters to the captains beyond the [a]River, that they may convey me over, till I come into Judah,
8 And letters unto Asaph the keeper of the king’s [b]park, that he may give me timber to build the gates of the palace (which appertained to the house) and for the walls of the city, and for the house that I shall enter into. And the king gave me according to [c]the good hand of my God upon me.
9 ¶ Then came I to the captains beyond the River, and gave them the king’s letters. And the king had sent captains of the army and horsemen with me.

7 I also said to him, “If it pleases the king, may I have letters to the governors of Trans-Euphrates,(A) so that they will provide me safe-conduct until I arrive in Judah? 8 And may I have a letter to Asaph, keeper of the royal park, so he will give me timber to make beams for the gates of the citadel(B) by the temple and for the city wall and for the residence I will occupy?” And because the gracious hand of my God was on me,(C) the king granted my requests.(D) 9 So I went to the governors of Trans-Euphrates and gave them the king’s letters. The king had also sent army officers and cavalry(E) with me.
