Ezra 8:23
"So we fasted and besought our God for this: and he was intreated of us."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

So we fasted, and besought our God for this,.... Sought the Lord by fasting and prayer for a good journey, and preservation in it: and he was entreated of us;

accepted their prayer, as Jarchi, so that they came safe to Jerusalem.
