Nehemiah 5:17 Context
15But the former gouernours that had bene before me, were chargeable vnto the people, and had taken of them bread, and wine, beside fourtie shekels of siluer, yea euen their seruants bare rule ouer the people: but so did not I, because of the feare of God. 16Yea also I continued in the worke of this wall, neither bought wee any land: and all my seruants were gathered thither vnto the worke. 17Moreouer, there were at my table, an hundred and fiftie of the Iewes and rulers, besides those that came vnto vs from among the heathen that are about vs. 18Now that which was prepared for me daily, was one oxe, and sixe choice sheepe; also foules were prepared for mee, and once in ten dayes, store of all sorts of wine: yet for all this required not I the bread of the gouernour, because the bondage was heauy vpon this people. 19Thinke vpon mee, my God, for good, according to all that I haue done for this people.
