Nehemiah 13:10-14
Legacy Standard Bible
Why Is the House of God Forsaken?
10 I also came to know that (A)the portions of the Levites had not been given them, so the Levites and the singers who did the work had fled, (B)each to his own field. 11 So I (C)contended against the officials and said, “(D)Why is the house of God forsaken?” Then I gathered them together and had them stand in their posts. 12 All Judah then brought (E)the tithe of the grain, new wine, and oil into the storehouses. 13 In charge of the storehouses I appointed Shelemiah the priest, Zadok the scribe, and Pedaiah of the Levites, and in addition to them was Hanan the son of Zaccur, the son of Mattaniah; for (F)they were counted as faithful, and it was [a]their task to apportion everything to their [b]relatives. 14 (G)Remember me for this, O my God, and do not blot out my lovingkindnesses which I have shown for the house of my God and its responsibilities.

Nehemiah 13:10-14
Common English Bible
10 I also found out that the Levites hadn’t been given their portions, so they and the singers who did the work had gone back to their fields. 11 So I scolded the officials, asking, “Why is God’s house being neglected?” I gathered them together and set them in their stations.
12 Then all Judah brought the tenth-part gifts of the grain, wine, and oil into the storehouses. 13 I appointed the priest Shelemiah, the scribe Zadok, and Pedaiah of the Levites to be in charge over the storehouses. I also appointed Hanan, Zaccur’s son and Mattaniah’s grandson, as their assistant. These men were considered trustworthy, and their task was to hand out shares to their colleagues.
14 Remember me, my God, concerning this. Don’t erase my good deeds that I have done for my God’s house and for its services.
