Nehemiah 5:17-19

International Children’s Bible

¹⁷ Also, I fed 150 Jews and officers at my table. And I fed those who came from the nations around us. ¹⁸ This is what was prepared every day for me and those who ate with me: one ox, six good sheep, and birds. And every ten days there were all kinds of wine. But I never demanded the food that was allowed for the governor. This was because the people were already working very hard.

¹⁹ Remember, my God, to be kind to me. Remember all the good I have done for these people.
