Nehemiah 2:1-3 King James Version (KJV)
2 And it came to pass in the month Nisan, in the twentieth year of Artaxerxes the king, that wine was before him: and I took up the wine, and gave it unto the king. Now I had not been beforetime sad in his presence.
2 Wherefore the king said unto me, Why is thy countenance sad, seeing thou art not sick? this is nothing else but sorrow of heart. Then I was very sore afraid,
3 And said unto the king, Let the king live for ever: why should not my countenance be sad, when the city, the place of my fathers' sepulchres, lieth waste, and the gates thereof are consumed with fire?
Nehemiah 2:1-3 Modern English Version (MEV)
Nehemiah Sent to Jerusalem
2 In the month of Nisan, during the twentieth year of King Artaxerxes, when wine was before him, I took the wine and gave it to the king. Never had I been upset in his presence. 2 So the king said to me, “Why is your face troubled though you do not seem sick? This is nothing but a troubled heart.”
Then I became very much afraid3 and said to the king, “May the king live forever! Why should not my face be troubled when the city, the place of my fathers’ tombs, lies waste, and its gates have been destroyed by fire?”

These are my thoughts, please share yours.
1 This is April. This was Nehemiah’s job to bring it to him as cup bearer. Nehemiah even if he was sad went through work in front of the king without letting him know if we are sad we can go thru work but it is a matter of time that people may know something is work.
2 The king notices his sadness and he is frighten because he was not to bring the sadness to the king, people being down can often times bring other people down as well.
3 So Nehemiah is sad because of his home being bad but is happy with his king.
