The King James Version Bible

Nehemiah 13:8-11

  1. And it grieved me sore: therefore I cast forth all the household stuff of Tobiah out of the chamber.

  2. Then I commanded, and they cleansed the chambers: and thither brought I again the vessels of the house of God, with the meat offering and the frankincense.

  3. And I perceived that the portions of the Levites had not been given them: for the Levites and the singers, that did the work, were fled every one to his field.

  4. Then contended I with the rulers, and said, Why is the house of God forsaken? And I gathered them together, and set them in their place.
