6 Então o rei me disse (enquanto a rainha estava sentada junto a ele): Por quanto tempo durará tua viagem, e quando voltarás? E agradou ao rei me enviar, depois que eu lhe defini um certo tempo.
7 Disse mais ao rei: Se for do agrado do rei, sejam dadas a mim cartas para os governadores dalém do rio, para que me permitam passar em segurança até que eu chegue a Judá;
8 Como também um carta para Asafe, guarda do jardim do rei, para que me dê madeira para consertar as portas da fortaleza do templo, para o muro da cidade, e para a casa onde entrarei.E o rei me concedeu, segundo a boa mão do SENHOR sobre mim.
9 Então vim aos governadores dalém do rio, e lhes dei as cartas do rei. E o rei enviou comigo capitães do exército e cavaleiros.
10 Quando então Sambalate, o horonita, e Tobias, o servo amonita, ouviram, desagradou-lhes muito que alguém viesse para buscar o bem aos filhos de Israel.
