Nehemiah 13:10-14
Christian Standard Bible
10 I also found out that because the portions for the Levites had not been given,(A) each of the Levites and the singers performing the service had gone back to his own field.(B) 11 Therefore, I rebuked the officials, asking, “Why has the house of God been neglected?” (C) I gathered the Levites and singers together and stationed them at their posts.(D) 12 Then all Judah brought a tenth of the grain, new wine, and fresh oil into the storehouses.(E) 13 I appointed as treasurers over the storehouses the priest Shelemiah, the scribe Zadok, and Pedaiah of the Levites, with Hanan son of Zaccur, son of Mattaniah to assist them, because they were considered trustworthy.(F) They were responsible for the distribution to their colleagues.(G)
14 Remember me for this, my God, and don’t erase the deeds of faithful love I have done for the house of my God and for its services.(H)

Nehemiah 13:10-14
New Living Translation
10 I also discovered that the Levites had not been given their prescribed portions of food, so they and the singers who were to conduct the worship services had all returned to work their fields. 11 I immediately confronted the leaders and demanded, “Why has the Temple of God been neglected?” Then I called all the Levites back again and restored them to their proper duties. 12 And once more all the people of Judah began bringing their tithes of grain, new wine, and olive oil to the Temple storerooms.
13 I assigned supervisors for the storerooms: Shelemiah the priest, Zadok the scribe, and Pedaiah, one of the Levites. And I appointed Hanan son of Zaccur and grandson of Mattaniah as their assistant. These men had an excellent reputation, and it was their job to make honest distributions to their fellow Levites.
14 Remember this good deed, O my God, and do not forget all that I have faithfully done for the Temple of my God and its services.
