Nehemiah Expels Tobiah

Nehemiah 13:4-9

And before this Eliashib the priest, appointed over chambers of the house of our God, is a relation of Tobiah,

and he maketh for him a great chamber, and there they were formerly putting the present, the frankincense, and the vessels, and the tithe of the corn, the new wine, and the oil--the commanded thing of the Levites, and the singers, and the gatekeepers--and the heave-offering of the priests.

And during all this I was not in Jerusalem, for in the thirty and second year of Artaxerxes king of Babylon did I come unto the king, and at the end of days I have asked of the king,

and 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,

and it is very displeasing to me, and I cast all the vessels of the house of Tobiah without, out of the chamber,

and 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.
