Nehemiah 13:10-14
New King James Version
10 I also realized that the portions for the Levites had (A)not been given them; for each of the Levites and the singers who did the work had gone back to (B)his field. 11 So (C)I contended with the rulers, and said, (D)“Why is the house of God forsaken?” And I gathered them together and set them in their place. 12 (E)Then all Judah brought the tithe of the grain and the new wine and the oil to the storehouse. 13 (F)And I appointed as treasurers over the storehouse Shelemiah the priest and Zadok the scribe, and of the Levites, Pedaiah; and next to them was Hanan the son of Zaccur, the son of Mattaniah; for they were considered (G)faithful, and their task was to distribute to their brethren.
14 (H)Remember me, O my God, concerning this, and do not wipe out my good deeds that I have done for the house of my God, and for its services!

Nehemiah 13:10-14
American Standard Version
10 And I perceived that the portions of the Levites had not been given them; so that the Levites and the singers, that did the work, were fled every one to his field. 11 Then contended I with the [a]rulers, and said, Why is the house of God forsaken? And I gathered them together, and set them in their place. 12 Then brought all Judah the tithe of the grain and the new wine and the oil unto the treasuries. 13 And I made treasurers over the treasuries, Shelemiah the priest, and Zadok the scribe, and of the Levites, Pedaiah: and next to them was Hanan the son of Zaccur, the son of Mattaniah; for they were counted faithful, and their business was to distribute unto their brethren. 14 Remember me, O my God, concerning this, and wipe not out my good deeds that I have done for the house of my God, and for the observances thereof.
