Nehemiah 13:9-11

American Standard Version

⁹ Then I commanded, and they cleansed the chambers: and thither brought I again the vessels of the house of God, with the meal-offerings and the frankincense.

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.
