16:013:005 And he had prepared for him a great chamber, where aforetime
           they laid the meat offerings, the frankincense, and the
           vessels, and the tithes of the corn, the new wine, and the
           oil, which was commanded to be given to the Levites, and the
           singers, and the porters; and the offerings of the priests.

16:013:006 But in all this time was not I at Jerusalem:  for in the two
           and thirtieth year of Artaxerxes king of Babylon came I unto
           the king, and after certain days obtained I leave of the king: 

16:013:007 And I came to Jerusalem, and understood of the evil that
           Eliashib did for Tobiah, in preparing him a chamber in the
           courts of the house of God.

16:013:008 And it grieved me sore:  therefore I cast forth all the
           household stuff to Tobiah out of the chamber.

16:013:009 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.

16:013:010 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.

16:013:011 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.

16:013:012 Then brought all Judah the tithe of the corn and the new wine
           and the oil unto the treasuries.

16:013:013 And I made treasurers over the treasuries, Shelemiah the
           priest, and Zadok the scribe, and of the Levites, Pedaiah:  and
           next to them was Hanan the son of Zaccur, the son of
           Mattaniah:  for they were counted faithful, and their office
           was to distribute unto their brethren.

16:013:014 Remember me, O my God, concerning this, and wipe not out my
           good deeds that I have done for the house of my God, and for
           the offices thereof.

16:013:015 In those days saw I in Judah some treading wine presses on the
           sabbath, and bringing in sheaves, and lading asses; as also
           wine, grapes, and figs, and all manner of burdens, which they
           brought into Jerusalem on the sabbath day:  and I testified
           against them in the day wherein they sold victuals.

16:013:016 There dwelt men of Tyre also therein, which brought fish, and
           all manner of ware, and sold on the sabbath unto the children
           of Judah, and in Jerusalem.

16:013:017 Then I contended with the nobles of Judah, and said unto them,
           What evil thing is this that ye do, and profane the sabbath
           day?
