Nehemiah 13:13
They were counted faithful - They were reported to me as persons in whom I could confide; they had been steady in God' s ways and work, while others had been careless and relaxed.
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.
12 aThen all Judah brought the tithe of the grain and the new wine and the oil to the storehouse.
13 aAnd I appointed as treasurers over the storehouse 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 considered bfaithful, and their task was to distribute to their brethren.
14 aRemember me, O my God, concerning this, and do not wipe out my good deeds that I have done for the house of my God, and for its services!
15 In those days I saw people in Judah treading wine presses aon the Sabbath, and bringing in sheaves, and loading donkeys with wine, grapes, figs, and all kinds of burdens, bwhich they brought into Jerusalem on the Sabbath day. And I warned them about the day on which they were selling provisions.
