SCRIPTURE

"Moreover there were at my table, of the Jews and the rulers, a hundred and fifty men, besides those that came unto us from among the nations that were round about us." — Nehemiah 5:17 (ASV)

Moreover, there were at my table an hundred and fifty of the
Jews and rulers
Every day at his own cost, which must be considerable to provide for such a number, and of such rank:

besides those that came unto us from among the Heathen that are about
us ;
who were proselytes, and came thither to worship, or on a civil account, to give intelligence, and take directions.
