*
And he had prepared for him a large room ,
where previously they had stored the grain offerings ,
the frankincense ,
the articles ,
the tithes of grain ,
the new wine and oil ,
which were commanded to be given to the Levites and singers and gatekeepers ,
and the offerings for the priests .
*
But during all this I was not in Jerusalem ,
for in the thirty-second year of Artaxerxes king of Babylon I had returned to the king .
Then after certain days I obtained leave from the king ,
*
and I came to Jerusalem and discovered the evil that Eliashib had done for Tobiah ,
in preparing a room for him in the courts of the house of God .
*
And it grieved me bitterly ;
therefore I threw all the household goods of Tobiah out of the room .
*
Then I commanded them to cleanse the rooms ;
and I brought back into them the articles of the house of God ,
with the grain offering and the frankincense .
