Nehemiah 13:7-12 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

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

8. It was very displeasing to me, so I threw all of Tobiah's household goods out of the room.

9. Then I gave an order and they cleansed the rooms; and I returned there the utensils of the house of God with the grain offerings and the frankincense.

10. I also discovered that the portions of the Levites had not been given them, so that the Levites and the singers who performed the service had gone away, each to his own field.

11. So I reprimanded the officials and said, "Why is the house of God forsaken?" Then I gathered them together and restored them to their posts.

12. All Judah then brought the tithe of the grain, wine and oil into the storehouses.
