But the former governors who were before me were supported by the people, and took bread and wine from them, besides forty shekels of silver; yes, even their servants ruled over the people: but I didn't do so, because of the fear of God.

Hebrew והפחות הראשנים אשר־לפני הכבידו על־העם ויקחו מהם בלחם ויין אחר כסף־שקלים ארבעים גם נעריהם שלטו על־העם ואני לא־עשיתי כן מפני יראת אלהים׃
Greek και τας βιας τας πρωτας ας προ εμου εβαρυναν επ' αυτους και ελαβοσαν παρ' αυτων εν αρτοις και εν οινω εσχατον αργυριον διδραχμα τεσσαρακοντα και οι εκτετιναγμενοι αυτων εξουσιαζονται επι τον λαον και εγω ουκ εποιησα ουτως απο προσωπου φοβου
Latin Duces autem primi, qui fuerant ante me, gravaverunt populum, et acceperunt ab eis in pane, et vino, et pecunia, quotidie siclos quadraginta : sed et ministri eorum depresserunt populum. Ego autem non feci ita propter timorem Dei :
KJV But the former governors that had been before me were chargeable unto the people, and had taken of them bread and wine, beside forty shekels of silver; yea, even their servants bare rule over the people: but so did not I, because of the fear of God.
