Albert Barnes Commentary Nehemiah 5:18

"Now that which was prepared for one day was one ox and six choice sheep; also fowls were prepared for me, and once in ten days store of all sorts of wine: yet for all this I demanded not the bread of the governor, because the bondage was heavy upon this people." — Nehemiah 5:18 (ASV)

Compare the far grander provision for Solomon’s table (see the marginal reference).
