3 H559 [H8799] And said H4428 to the king, H4428 Let the king H2421 [H8799] live H5769 to the age: H6440 why should not my face H3415 [H8799] be sad, H5892 when the city, H1004 the place H1 of my fathers' H6913 burying-places, H2720 lieth waste, H8179 and its gates H398 [H8795] are consumed H784 with fire?

4 H4428 Then the king H559 [H8799] said H1245 [H8764] to me, For what dost thou make request? H6419 [H8691] So I prayed H430 to the God H8064 of heaven.

5 H559 [H8799] And I said H4428 to the king, H2895 [H8804] If it should please H4428 the king, H5650 and if thy servant H3190 [H8799] hath found favour H6440 in thy sight, H7971 [H8799] that thou wouldest send H3063 me to Judah, H5892 to the city H1 of my fathers' H6913 burying-places, H1129 [H8799] that I may build it.
