Nehemiah 5:16-18
English Standard Version
16 I also persevered in the work on this wall, and we acquired no land, and all my servants were gathered there for the work. 17 Moreover, there were (A)at my table 150 men, Jews and officials, besides those who came to us from the nations that were around us. 18 (B)Now what was prepared at my expense[a] for each day was one ox and six choice sheep and birds, and every ten days all kinds of wine in abundance. Yet for all this (C)I did not demand the food allowance of the governor, because the service was too heavy on this people.
