Nehemiah:5:14-19




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.
