strkjv@Nehemiah:5:14
@ Moreover from the
time
that I was
appointed
to be their
governor
in the
land
of
Judah
, from the
twentieth
year
even unto the
two
and
thirtieth
year
of
Artaxerxes
the
king
, that is,
twelve
sh@
years
, I and my
brethren
have not
eaten
the
bread
of the
governor
.
strkjv@Nehemiah:5:15
@ But the
former
governors
that had been
before
me were
chargeable
unto the
people
, and had
taken
of them
bread
and
wine
,
beside
forty
shekels
of
silver
; yea,
even
their
servants
bare
rule
over the
people
: but so
did
not I,
because
of the
fear
of
God
.
strkjv@Nehemiah:5:16
@ Yea, also I
continued
in the
work
of this
wall
, neither
bought
we any
land
: and all my
servants
were
gathered
thither unto the
work
m@.
strkjv@Nehemiah:5:17
@ Moreover there were at my
table
an
hundred
and
fifty
of the
Jews
and
rulers
, beside those that
came
unto us from among the
heathen
that are about
us
.
strkjv@Nehemiah:5:18
@ Now that which was
prepared
for me
daily
was
one
ox
and
six
choice
sheep
; also
fowls
were
prepared
for me, and once in
ten
days
store
of all sorts of
wine
: yet for
all
this
required
not I the
bread
of the
governor
, because the
bondage
was
heavy
upon this
people
.
strkjv@Nehemiah:5:19
@
Think
upon me, my
God
, for
good
, according to all that I have
done
for this
people
.
