Context of Nehemiah 5:19
17Furthermore, 150 Judeans and officials, as well as those that came to us from the nations around us, were at my table. 18Now, each day one ox and six choice sheep, as well as some fowl, were prepared for me, and every ten days an abundance of every kind of wine was prepared. Despite all this, I did not require the governor’s food allowance, because the work was already heavy on this people. Remember me for good, O my God, for all that I have done for this people.

He contrasted it with his own in redeeming with his money some of the Jewish exiles who, through debt or otherwise, had lost their personal liberty in Babylon. He urged the…Read the comment
