## Nehemiah 13:8-11 in Context (Verses 5–14 KJV)
 
 [5 ](/kjv/nehemiah/13/5) 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; and the offerings of the priests.*
 
 [6 ](/kjv/nehemiah/13/6) 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:**
 
 [7 ](/kjv/nehemiah/13/7) 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.
 
 [8 ](/kjv/nehemiah/13/8) And it grieved me sore: therefore I cast forth all the household stuff of Tobiah out of the chamber.
 
 [9 ](/kjv/nehemiah/13/9) 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.
 
 [10 ](/kjv/nehemiah/13/10) ¶ And I perceived that the portions of the Levites had not been given *them:* for the Levites and the singers, that did the work, were fled every one to his field.
 
 [11 ](/kjv/nehemiah/13/11) 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.*
 
 [12 ](/kjv/nehemiah/13/12) Then brought all Judah the tithe of the corn and the new wine and the oil unto the treasuries.*
 
 [13 ](/kjv/nehemiah/13/13) 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.***
 
 [14 ](/kjv/nehemiah/13/14) 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.**
 
[Nehemiah 12](/kjv/nehemiah/12) [Esther 1](/kjv/esther/1)
