7and I come in to Jerusalem, and understand concerning the evil that Eliashib hath done for Tobiah, to make to him a chamber in the courts of the house of God,
8and it is very displeasing to me, and I cast all the vessels of the house of Tobiah without, out of the chamber,
9and I speak, and they cleanse the chambers, and I bring back thither the vessels of the house of God with the present and the frankincense.
10And I know that the portions of the Levites have not been given, and they flee each to his field -- the Levites and the singers, doing the work.
11And I strive with the prefects, and say, `Wherefore hath the house of God been forsaken?` and I gather them, and set them on their station;
12and all Judah have brought in the tithe of the corn, and of the new wine, and of the oil, to the treasuries.
13And I appoint treasurers over the treasuries, Shelemiah the priest, and Zadok the scribe, and Pedaiah of the Levites; and by their hand [is] Hanan son of Zaccur, son of Mattaniah, for stedfast they have been reckoned, and on them [it is] to give a portion to their brethren.
