Nehemiah 5:19 In-Context

17 Many people ate at my table. They included 150 Jews and officials. They also included leaders who came to us from the nations that were around us.

18 Each day one ox, six of the best sheep and some birds were prepared for me. Every ten days plenty of wine of all kinds was brought in as well. In spite of all that, I never asked for the food that was provided for my table. That's because the people were already paying too many taxes.

19 You are my God. Please remember me. Show me your favor. Keep in mind everything I've done for these people.
