Coverdale⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵ for he had made him a greate chest, and there had they aforetyme layed the meatofferynges, frankencense, vessell, and the tithes of corne, wyne and oyle (acordinge to the commaundement geuen to the Leuites, syngers and porters) and the Heueofferynges of the prestes. ⁶ But in all this was not I at Ierusalem: for in ye two and thirtieth yeare of Artaxerses kynge of Babilon, came I vnto the kynge, and after certayne dayes optayned I lycence of the kynge ⁷ to come to Ierusale. And I gat knowlege of ye euell that Eliasib dyd vnto Tobia, in that he had made him a chest in the courte of the house of God, ⁸ and it greued me sore, and I cast forth all the vessels of Tobias house out of the chest, ⁹ and commauded them to clense the chest. And thither broughte I agayne the vessels of the house of God, the meatofferynge and the incense. ¹⁰ And I perceaued, that the porcions of ye Leuites were not geuen them, for the which cause the Leuites and syngers were fled, euery one to his londe for to worke. ¹¹ Then reproued I the rulers, and sayde: Why forsake we the house of God? But I gathered them together, and set them in their place. ¹² Then brought all Iuda the tithes of corne, wyne and oyle vnto the treasure. ¹³ And I made treasurers ouer ye treasure, euen Selemia ye prest, and Sadoc the scrybe, & of the Leuites Pedaia, and vnder their hande Hanan the sonne of Sachur the sonne of Mathania: for they were counted faithfull, and their office was, to destribute vnto their brethren.
