Nehemiah 13:10

Verse 10 of 31. The 13th of 13 chapters in Nehemiah, in History.

6But in all this, I was not at Jerusalem; for in the thirty-second year of Artaxerxes king of Babylon I went to the king; and after some days I asked leave of the king,

7and I came to Jerusalem, and understood the evil that Eliashib had done for Tobiah, in preparing him a room in the courts of God’s house.

8It grieved me severely. Therefore I threw all Tobiah’s household stuff out of the room.

9Then I commanded, and they cleansed the rooms. I brought into them the vessels of God’s house, with the meal offerings and the frankincense again.

10I perceived that the portions of the Levites had not been given them, so that the Levites and the singers, who did the work, had each fled to his field.

11Then I contended with the rulers, and said, “Why is God’s house forsaken?” I gathered them together, and set them in their place.

12Then all Judah brought the tithe of the grain, the new wine, and the oil to the treasuries.

13I 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 business was to distribute to their brothers.

14Remember me, my God, concerning this, and don’t wipe out my good deeds that I have done for the house of my God, and for its observances.
