Nehemiah 13:7-9
New King James Version
7 and I came to Jerusalem and discovered the evil that Eliashib had done for Tobiah, in (A)preparing a room for him in the courts of the [a]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 (B)cleanse the rooms; and I brought back into them the articles of the house of God, with the grain offering and the frankincense.
