8. So I was very unhappy. I threw all of Tobiah's things out of the room.
9. I gave orders to make the rooms pure and clean again. Then I put the supplies from God's house back into them. That included the grain offerings and the incense.
10. I also learned that the shares the Levites were supposed to receive hadn't been given to them. So all of the Levites and singers had to leave their regular temple duties. They had to go back and farm their own fields.
11. I gave a warning to the officials. I asked them, "Why aren't you taking care of God's house?" Then I brought them together. I stationed them in their proper places. I put them back to work.
12. All of the people of Judah brought a tenth of the grain, olive oil and fresh wine. They took it to the storerooms.
