Nehemiah 2:1

And it happened in the month of Nisan [the first month, corresponding to March/April in our calendar] in the 20th year of the reign of King Artaxerxes (Hebr. Artachshasta) [the first], [445 BC], when the wine was before him, that I took up the wine and gave it to the king. I had not previously shown myself sad in his presence. [It has now been four months since Nehemiah received the report about the distress in Jerusalem, see Neh 1:1.]
