Nehemiah 13:11

Nehemiah 13:11

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.

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!
