Nehemiah 13:4-9
New International Version
4 Before this, Eliashib the priest had been put in charge of the storerooms(A) of the house of our God. He was closely associated with Tobiah,(B) 5 and he had provided him with a large room formerly used to store the grain offerings and incense and temple articles, and also the tithes(C) of grain, new wine and olive oil prescribed for the Levites, musicians and gatekeepers, as well as the contributions for the priests.
6 But while all this was going on, I was not in Jerusalem, for in the thirty-second year of Artaxerxes(D) king of Babylon I had returned to the king. Some time later I asked his permission 7 and came back to Jerusalem. Here I learned about the evil thing Eliashib(E) had done in providing Tobiah(F) a room in the courts of the house of God. 8 I was greatly displeased and threw all Tobiah’s household goods out of the room.(G) 9 I gave orders to purify the rooms,(H) and then I put back into them the equipment of the house of God, with the grain offerings and the incense.(I)
Nehemiah 13:28-31
New International Version
28 One of the sons of Joiada son of Eliashib(A) the high priest was son-in-law to Sanballat(B) the Horonite. And I drove him away from me.
29 Remember(C) them, my God, because they defiled the priestly office and the covenant of the priesthood and of the Levites.(D)
30 So I purified the priests and the Levites of everything foreign,(E) and assigned them duties, each to his own task. 31 I also made provision for contributions of wood(F) at designated times, and for the firstfruits.(G)
Remember(H) me with favor, my God.
