Nehemiah 13:4-8
4Now priorH6440 to thisH2088, EliashibH475 the priestH3548, 1who was appointedH5414 over the chambersH3957 of the houseH1004 of our GodH430, being 2relatedH7138 to 3TobiahH2900,
5had preparedH6213 a largeH1419 4roomH3957 for him, whereH8033 formerlyH6440 they putH5414 the grain offeringsH4503, the frankincenseH3828, the utensilsH3627 and the tithesH4643 of grainH1715, wineH8492 and oilH3323 5prescribedH4687 for the LevitesH3881, the singersH7891 and the gatekeepersH7778, and the 6contributionsH8641 for the priestsH3548.
6But during allH3605 thisH2088 time I was not in JerusalemH3389, for in 7the thirty-secondH7970H8147 yearH8141 of 8ArtaxerxesH783 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 I had goneH935 to the kingH4428. AfterH7093 some timeH3117, however, I askedH7592 leave from the kingH4428,
7and I cameH935 to JerusalemH3389 and 9learnedH995 about the evilH7463 that EliashibH475 had doneH6213 for TobiahH2900, 10by preparingH6213 a 11roomH5393 for him in the courtsH2691 of the houseH1004 of GodH430.
8It was veryH3966 displeasingH7489 to me, so I 12threwH7993 allH3605 of Tobiah’sH2900 householdH1004 goodsH3627 out of the roomH3957.
