7 And I went to Jerusalem, and I understood the evil that Eliashib had done for Tobiah, such that he would make him a storeroom in the vestibules of the house of God.
8 And it seemed to me very evil. And I cast the vessels of the house of Tobiah outside of the storeroom.
9 And I gave instructions, and they cleansed again the storeroom. And I brought back, into that place, the vessels of the house of God, the sacrifice, and the frankincense.
10 And I realized that the portions of the Levites had not been given to them, and that each one had fled into his own region, from the Levites, and from the singing men, and from those who were ministering.
11 And I brought the case before the magistrates, and I said, 'Why have we forsaken the house of God?' And I gathered them together, and I caused them to stand at their stations.
