Nehemiah 5:15-17
American Standard Version

15 But the former governors that were before me [a]were chargeable unto the people, and took of them bread and wine, [b]besides forty shekels of silver; yea, even their servants [c]bare rule over the people: but so did not I, because of the fear of God. 16 Yea, also I [d]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, of the Jews and the [e]rulers, a hundred and fifty men, besides those that came unto us from among the nations that were round about us.
