1 It happened in the month Nisan, in the twentieth year of Artaxerxes the king, when wine was before him, that I took up the wine, and gave it to the king. Now I had not been before sad in his presence.
2 The king said to me, |Why is your face sad, since you are not sick? This is nothing else but sorrow of heart.| Then I was very much afraid.
