Nehemiah 5:14-15

14Moreover from the time that I wasH1961 appointedH6680 to beH1961 their governorH6346 in the landH776 of JudahH3063, from the twentieth yearH8141 even unto the twoH8147 and thirtieth yearH8141 of ArtaxerxesH783 the kingH4428, that is, twelve yearsH8141, I and my brethren have not eatenH398 the breadH3899 of the governorH6346. 15But the formerH7223 governorsH6346 that were before me were chargeable unto the peopleH5971, and tookH3947 of them breadH3899 and wineH3196, besides fortyH705 shekelsH8255 of silverH3701; yea, even their servantsH5288 bare rule over the peopleH5971: but soH3651 did not I, because of the fearH3374 of GodH430.
