Nehemiah 5:14-19

Moreover from the time
<03117>
that I was appointed
<06680> (8765)
to be their governor
<06346>
in the land
<0776>
of Judah
<03063>_,
from the twentieth
<06242>
year
<08141>
even unto the two
<08147>
and thirtieth
<07970>
year
<08141>
of Artaxerxes
<0783>
the king
<04428>_,
[that is], twelve
<08147> <06240>
years
<08141>_,
I and my brethren
<0251>
have not eaten
<0398> (8804)
the bread
<03899>
of the governor
<06346>_.
But the former
<07223>
governors
<06346>
that [had been] before
<06440>
me were chargeable
<03513> (8689)
unto the people
<05971>_,
and had taken
<03947> (8799)
of them bread
<03899>
and wine
<03196>_,
beside
<0310>
forty
<0705>
shekels
<08255>
of silver
<03701>_;
yea, even
<01571>
their servants
<05288>
bare rule
<07980> (8804)
over the people
<05971>_:
but so did
<06213> (8804)
not I, because
<06440>
of the fear
<03374>
of God
<0430>_.
Yea, also I continued
<02388> (8689)
in the work
<04399>
of this wall
<02346>_,
neither bought
<07069> (8804)
we any land
<07704>_:
and all my servants
<05288>
[were] gathered
<06908> (8803)
thither unto the work
<04399>_.
Moreover [there were] at my table
<07979>
an hundred
<03967>
and fifty
<02572> <0376>
of the Jews
<03064>
and rulers
<05461>_,
beside those that came
<0935> (8802)
unto us from among the heathen
<01471>
that [are] about us
<05439>_.
Now [that] which was prepared
<06213> (8737)
[for me] daily
<03117>
[was] one
<0259>
ox
<07794>
[and] six
<08337>
choice
<01305> (8803)
sheep
<06629>_;
also fowls
<06833>
were prepared
<06213> (8738)
for me, and once in ten
<06235>
days
<03117>
store
<07235> (8687)
of all sorts of wine
<03196>_:
yet for all
<05973>
this required
<01245> (8765)
not I the bread
<03899>
of the governor
<06346>_,
because the bondage
<05656>
was heavy
<03513> (8804)
upon this people
<05971>_.
Think
<02142> (8798)
upon me, my God
<0430>_,
for good
<02896>_,
[according] to all that I have done
<06213> (8804)
for this people
<05971>_.
