Verse in context — Nehemiah 13
and I came to Jerusalem, and understood the evil that Eliashib had done for Tobiah, in preparing him a room in the courts of the house of God.
It grieved me severely: therefore I cast forth all the household stuff of Tobiah out of the room.
Then I commanded, and they cleansed the rooms: and there brought I again the vessels of the house of God, with the meal offerings and the frankincense.
I perceived that the portions of the Levites had not been given them; so that the Levites and the singers, who did the work, had fled everyone to his field.
Then I contended with the rulers, and said, "Why is the house of God forsaken?" I gathered them together, and set them in their place.
