Nehemiah 5:15

« Neh 4Neh 5Neh 6 »
15 But the former governors who were before me 1laid heavy burdens on the people and took from them bread and wine besides forty 2shekels of silver; even their young men exerted their power over the people. But I did not do so abecause of the fear of God.

Nehemiah 5:18

18 Now athat which was prepared for each day was one ox and six choice sheep, also birds were prepared for me; and once in ten days all sorts of wine were furnished in abundance. Yet for all this bI did not require the governor’s food allowance, because the slavery was heavy on this people.
