  9. The king said to me, “What is your request?” With a prayer to the God of Heaven, I answered the king, “If it please the king and if your servant has found favor with you, send me to Judah, to the city of my ancestors’ graves, to rebuild it. With the consort seated at his side, the king said to me, “How long will you be gone and when will you return?” So it was agreeable to the king to send me, and I gave him a date. Then I said to the king, “If it please the king, let me have letters to the officials of the province of Across the River, directing them to grant me passage until I reach Judah; likewise, a letter to Asaph, keeper of the King’s Park, directing him to give me timber to frame the gates of the birah/fortress, which (will be) (adjacent) to the house/temple, and for the city wall and for the house/palace that I will occupy. The king gave me these, thanks to my God’s benevolent care for me. When I came to the officials of the province of Across the River, I gave them the king’s letters. The king also sent army officers and cavalry with me.
