Nehemiah 13:6

2because they didn’t meet the children of Israel with bread and with water, but hired Balaam against them to curse them; however, our God turned the curse into a blessing.

3It came to pass, when they had heard the law, that they separated all the mixed multitude from Israel.

4Now before this, Eliashib the priest, who was appointed over the rooms of the house of our God, being allied to Tobiah,

5had prepared for him a great room, where previously they laid the meal offerings, the frankincense, the vessels, and the tithes of the grain, the new wine, and the oil, which were given by commandment to the Levites, the singers, and the gatekeepers; and the wave offerings for the priests.

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.
