17The Jews and the officials, a hundred and fifty men, and those who came to us from the nations that were around us, were at my table.

18What was prepared for each day was one ox and six choice sheep; also birds were prepared for me, and every ten days an abundance of all kinds of wine. Yet even with this, I did not demand the governor’s food allowance, because the service was heavy on this people.

19Remember me, my God, for good, for all that I have done for this people.
