John Gill, on Neh 5:16

“Moreover I built in the work of the wall, and I bought no land, and all my servants were gathered together to the work.”

“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.”
