Why was Nehemiah afraid when Artaxerxes asked him why he looked so sad?
The ancient Kings were totalitarian rulers who could order instant death for anyone if that was what they wanted. It would have been 'poor etiquette' to appear sad in the Artaxerxes' presence and this could have had a bad end for Nehemiah. The fact that he showed his feelings enough to be noticed gave Nehemiah undoubted cause for concern. Evidently though, his previous good service had held him in good favor with the King and so it led to a good outcome, with God's help as well of course.
In the book of Nehemiah chapter 2 verse 6 why did Nehemiah mention that the Queen was sitting by the King?
What was the name of the Queen in Nehemiah 1-3 R. A. Torrey's Treasury of Scripture Knowledge states, "It was probably Esther who was present at this time, and who seconded Nehemiah's request." Ray C. Steadman writes, "That queen, I believe, was Queen Esther, the Jewish maiden who had been raised to this prominent position by the grace of God. Neither Artaxerxes nor Ahasuerus are the names of this king. That is what is so confusing. These are really titles. Artaxerxes means "the great king" and Ahasuerus means "the venerable father." These were not the king's given names. It may or may not be helpful to know that this Artaxerxes and Ahasuerus are also Darius the Mede of the book of Daniel." Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary states, "The queen referred to was probably Esther, whose presence would tend greatly to embolden Nehemiah in stating his request."
