Nehemiah 13:6-10 New King James Version (NKJV)

6. But during all this I was not in Jerusalem, for in the thirty-second year of Artaxerxes king of Babylon I had returned to the king. Then after certain days I obtained leave from the king,

7. and I came to Jerusalem and discovered the evil that Eliashib had done for Tobiah, in preparing a room for him in the courts of the 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 cleanse 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 not been given them; for each of the Levites and the singers who did the work had gone back to his field.
