Nehemiah 5:15-16

1. 15 But the former governors that had been before me were chargeable unto the people, and had taken of them bread and wine, beside forty shekels of silver; yea, even their servants bare rule over the people: but so did not I, because of the fear of God.

2. 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.
