Nehemiah 13:9 - Forerunner Commentary

Nehemiah 13:9

7 and I came to Jerusalem and discovered the evil that Eliashib had done for Tobiah, in ^apreparing a room for him in the courts of the¹ house of God.

8 And it grieved me bitterly; therefore I threw all the household goods of Tobiah out of the room.

9 Then I commanded them to ^acleanse the rooms; and I brought back into them the articles of the house of God, with the grain offering and the frankincense.

10 I also realized that the portions for the Levites had ^anot been given them; for each of the Levites and the singers who did the work had gone back to ^bhis field.

11 So ^aI contended with the rulers, and said, ^b“Why is the house of God forsaken?” And I gathered them together and set them in their place.
