Nehemiah 2:10 in Context — Nehemiah 2

8 et une lettre pour Asaph, garde forestier du roi, afin qu’il me fournisse du bois de charpente pour les portes de la citadelle près de la maison, pour la muraille de la ville, et pour la maison que j’occuperai. Le roi me donna ces lettres, car la bonne main de mon Dieu était sur moi.

9 Je me rendis auprès des gouverneurs de l’autre côté du fleuve, et je leur remis les lettres du roi, qui m’avait fait accompagner par des chefs de l’armée et par des cavaliers.

10 Sanballat, le Horonite, et Tobija, le serviteur ammonite, l’ayant appris, eurent un grand déplaisir de ce qu’il venait un homme pour chercher le bien des enfants d’Israël.

11 J’arrivai à Jérusalem, et j’y passai trois jours.

12 Après quoi, je me levai pendant la nuit avec quelques hommes, sans avoir dit à personne ce que mon Dieu m’avait mis au cœur de faire pour Jérusalem. Il n’y avait avec moi d’autre bête de somme que ma propre monture.
