Nehemiah 5:14

Furthermore, from the time I was appointed governor of the land of Judah, from the 20th year [445 BC] to the 32nd year [433 BC] of King Artaxerxes (Hebr. Artachshasta), which is 12 years, my brothers and I have not eaten the bread (food) of the governors.
[These 12 years refer to a mission as governor that Nehemiah receives from the king. It is not the time he spends in Jerusalem; based on the dialogue with King Artachshasta, it is implied that it is a shorter period of about a year, see Neh 2:1, 6.]
