Nehemiah 13:10-13 And I saw that the portions of the Levites had not been given to them; for the Levites and the singers, who did the work, had fled each one to his field.

MKJV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁰ And I saw that the portions of the Levites had not been given to them; for the Levites and the singers, who did the work, had fled each one to his field. ¹¹ And I contended with the rulers and said, Why is the house of God forsaken? And I gathered them together and set them in their place. ¹² And all Judah brought the tithe of the grain and the new wine and the oil into the treasuries. ¹³ 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 to their brothers.
