Nehemia 5:14

Zaidi ya hayo, kutoka mwaka wa ishirini wa Mfalme Artashasta, wakati nilipoteuliwa kuwa mtawala wao katika nchi ya Yuda, mpaka mwaka wake wa thelathini na mbili, yaani miaka kumi na miwili, mimi wala ndugu zangu hatukula chakula ambacho kwa kawaida hupewa watawala.

¶ Moreover from the time that I was appointed to be their governor in the land of Judah, from the twentieth year even unto the two and thirtieth year of Artaxerxes the king, that is, twelve years, I and my brethren have not eaten the bread of the governor.
