Nehemiah 13:4-9

4And before this, Eliashib the priest, who had the oversight of the chambers of the house of our 1God, a kinsman of Tobijah,

5had prepared for him a great chamber, where formerly they laid the oblations, the frankincense, and the vessels, and the tithes of the corn, the new wine and the oil, which was commanded for the Levites and the singers and the doorkeepers, and the heave-offerings of the priests.

6And during all that [time] I was not at Jerusalem; for in the two-and-thirtieth year of Artaxerxes king of Babylon I came to the king; and after some time I obtained leave of the king.

7And I came to Jerusalem, and observed the evil that Eliashib had done for Tobijah, in preparing him a chamber in the courts of the house of 2God.

8And it grieved me much, and I cast forth all the household stuff of Tobijah out of the chamber.

9And I commanded, and they purified the chambers; and thither brought I again the vessels of the house of 3God, the oblation and the frankincense.
