New International Version
Nehemiah 5:16-18
New International Version
16 Instead,(A) I devoted myself to the work on this wall. All my men were assembled there for the work; we[a] did not acquire any land.
17 Furthermore, a hundred and fifty Jews and officials ate at my table, as well as those who came to us from the surrounding nations. 18 Each day one ox, six choice sheep and some poultry(B) were prepared for me, and every ten days an abundant supply of wine of all kinds. In spite of all this, I never demanded the food allotted to the governor, because the demands were heavy on these people.

Nehemiah 5:16-18
King James Version
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.
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.
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.

16 Indeed, I also continued the (A)work on this wall, and [a]we did not buy any land. All my servants were gathered there for the work.
17 And (B)at my table were one hundred and fifty Jews and rulers, besides those who came to us from the nations around us. 18 Now that (C)which was prepared daily was one ox and six choice sheep. Also fowl were prepared for me, and once every ten days an abundance of all kinds of wine. Yet in spite of this (D)I did not demand the governor’s provisions, because the bondage was heavy on this people.
