Context of Nehemiah 5:19
17And there were at my table a hundred and fifty of the Jews and the rulers, besides those that came to us from among the nations that were about us. 18And that which was prepared daily was one ox [and] six choice sheep; also fowls were prepared for me, and once in ten days all sorts of wine in abundance. Yet for all this I demanded not the bread of the governor; for the service was heavy upon this people. Remember for me, my God, for good, all that I have done for this people.

- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 19Think upon me, my God, for good - Nehemiah wishes for no reward from man; and he only asks mercy at the hand of his God for what his providence enabled him to do; and which, according to the good hand of his God upon him, he had done faithfully.
