Nehemiah 5:15

Nehemiah Denies His Allotment

¹⁴ And from the time forth that it was committed unto me to be a captain in the land of Judah, namely from the twentieth year even unto the two and thirtieth year of king Artaxerxes - that is twelve years - I and my brethren lived not of such sustenance as was given to a captain: ¹⁵ For the old captains that were before me, had been chargeable unto the people, and had taken of them bread and wine, and forty sicles of silver: yea and their servants had oppressed the people. But so did not I, and that because of the fear of God. ¹⁶ I laboured also in the work upon the wall, and bought no land. And all my servants came thither together unto the work.
