Nehemiah 5:16-18
1599 Geneva Bible
16 But rather I fortified a portion in the work of this wall, and we bought no land, and all my servants came thither together unto the work.
17 Moreover there were at my table an hundred and fifty of the Jews, and rulers, which came unto us from among the heathen that are about us.
18 And there was prepared daily an ox, and six chosen sheep, and birds were prepared for me, and [a]within ten days wine for all [b]in abundance. Yet for all this I required not the bread of the governor: for the bondage was grievous unto this people.
