Tithes Restored
10 I also [a]discovered that (A)the portions of the Levites had not been given to them, so the Levites and the singers who performed the service had [b]gone away, (B)each to his own field. 11 So I [c](C)reprimanded the officials and said, “(D)Why has the house of God been neglected?” Then I gathered them together and stationed them at their posts. 12 All Judah then brought (E)the tithe of the grain, wine, and oil into the storehouses. 13 To be in charge of the storehouses, I appointed Shelemiah the priest, Zadok the scribe, and Pedaiah from the Levites, and in addition to them was Hanan the son of Zaccur, the son of Mattaniah; for (F)they were considered reliable, and it was [d]their task to distribute to their kinsmen. 14 (G)Remember me for this, my God, and do not wipe out my loyal deeds which I have performed for the house of my God and its services.
