Nehemiah 5:14-19

14Moreover from the time that I wasH1961 appointedH6680 to beH1961 their governorH6346 in the landH776 of JudahH3063, from the twentieth yearH8141 even to the thirty-second yearH8141 of ArtaxerxesH783 the kingH4428, twelve yearsH8141, I and my brethren have not eatenH398 the breadH3899 of the governorH6346. 15But the formerH7223 governorsH6346 that were before me had been chargeable to the peopleH5971, and had takenH3947 of them breadH3899 and wineH3196, besides fortyH705 shekelsH8255 of silverH3701: even their servantsH5288 bore rule over the peopleH5971. But I did not soH3651, because of the fearH3374 of 1GodH430. 16Yea, alsoH1571 I applied myself to this workH4399 of the wallH2346, and we boughtH7069 no fieldsH7704; and all my servantsH5288 were gatheredH6908 thither for the workH4399. 17And there were at my tableH7979 a hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572 of the JewsH3064 and the rulers, besides those that cameH935 to us from among the nationsH1471 that were about us. 18And that which wasH1961 prepared daily wasH1961 oneH259 oxH7794 [and] sixH8337 choice sheepH6629; also fowls were prepared for me, and once in tenH6235 daysH3117 all sorts of wineH3196 in abundanceH7235. Yet for all this I demanded not the breadH3899 of the governorH6346; for the serviceH5656 wasH1961 heavyH3513 upon this peopleH5971. 19RememberH2142 for me, my 2GodH430, for goodH2896, all that I have done for this peopleH5971.
