"21- Then I proclaimed a fast there, at the river of Ahava, that we might afflict"
"    ourselves before our God, to seek of him a right way for us, and for our"

"22- For I was ashamed to require of the king a band of soldiers and horsemen to"
"    help us against the enemy in the way: because we had spoken unto the king"

"    power and his wrath is against all them that forsake him."
"23- So we fasted and besought our God for this: and he was intreated of us."
