## Nehemiah 2:10-12 in Context (Verses 7–15 KJV)
 
 [7 ](/kjv/nehemiah/2/7) Moreover I said unto the king, If it please the king, let letters be given me to the governors beyond the river, that they may convey me over till I come into Judah;
 
 [8 ](/kjv/nehemiah/2/8) And a letter unto Asaph the keeper of the king’s forest, that he may give me timber to make beams for the gates of the palace which *appertained* to the house, and for the wall of the city, and for the house that I shall enter into. And the king granted me, according to the good hand of my God upon me.
 
 [9 ](/kjv/nehemiah/2/9) ¶ Then I came to the governors beyond the river, and gave them the king’s letters. Now the king had sent captains of the army and horsemen with me.
 
 [10 ](/kjv/nehemiah/2/10) When Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite, heard *of it*, it grieved them exceedingly that there was come a man to seek the welfare of the children of Israel.
 
 [11 ](/kjv/nehemiah/2/11) So I came to Jerusalem, and was there three days.
 
 [12 ](/kjv/nehemiah/2/12) ¶ And I arose in the night, I and some few men with me; neither told I *any* man what my God had put in my heart to do at Jerusalem: neither *was there any* beast with me, save the beast that I rode upon.
 
 [13 ](/kjv/nehemiah/2/13) And I went out by night by the gate of the valley, even before the dragon well, and to the dung port, and viewed the walls of Jerusalem, which were broken down, and the gates thereof were consumed with fire.
 
 [14 ](/kjv/nehemiah/2/14) Then I went on to the gate of the fountain, and to the king’s pool: but *there was* no place for the beast *that was* under me to pass.
 
 [15 ](/kjv/nehemiah/2/15) Then went I up in the night by the brook, and viewed the wall, and turned back, and entered by the gate of the valley, and *so* returned.
