And before this ,
Eliashib the priest ,
having the oversight of the chamber of the house of our God ,
was allied unto Tobiah :
*
And he had prepared for him a great chamber ,
where aforetime they laid the meat offerings ,
the frankincense ,
and the vessels ,
and the tithes of the corn ,
the new wine ,
and the oil ,
which was commanded to be given to the Levites ,
and the singers ,
and the porters show #
er #;
and the offerings of the priests .
*
But in all this time was not I at Jerusalem :
for in the two and thirtieth year of Artaxerxes king of Babylon came I unto the king ,
and after certain days obtained I leave of the king :
*
And I came to Jerusalem ,
and understood of the evil that Eliashib did for Tobiah ,
in preparing him a chamber in the courts of the house of God .
*
And it grieved me sore m @#

therefore I cast forth all the household stuff of Tobiah out of the chamber .
*
Then I commanded ,
and they cleansed the chambers :
and thither brought I again the vessels of the house of God ,
with the meat offering and the frankincense .
*
And I perceived that the portions of the Levites had not been given them :
for the Levites and the singers ,
that did the work m @
la #
kah #,
were fled every one to his field .
*
Then contended I with the rulers ,
and said ,
Why is the house of God forsaken ?
And I gathered them together ,
and set them in their place .
*
Then brought all Judah the tithe of the corn and the new wine and the oil unto the treasuries .
*
And I made treasurers over the treasuries ,
Shelemiah the priest ,
and Zadok the scribe ,
and of the Levites ,
Pedaiah :
and next to them was Hanan the son of Zaccur ,
the son of Mattaniah :
for they were counted faithful ,
and their office was to distribute unto their brethren .
*
Remember me ,
O my God ,
concerning this ,
and wipe not out my good deeds that I have done for the house of my God ,
and for the offices thereof .
