Nehemiah / Question
Question source
Nehemiah
When the king asked why his face was sad, Nehemiah says, "Then I was very much afraid" Nehemiah 2:2. The text presents fear in the moment before he explains Jerusalem’s distress.
2The king said to me, Why is your face sad, seeing you are not sick? this is nothing else but sorrow of heart. Then I was very sore afraid.
