Nehemiah Brings Reform

9 Then I gave orders, and they cleansed the chambers, and I brought back there the vessels of the house of God, with the grain offering and the frankincense. 10 I also discovered that the portions of the Levites had not been given them, so that the Levites and the singers who performed the service had gone away, each to his own field. 11 So I confronted the officials and said, "Why is the house of God forsaken?" And I gathered them together and set them in their stations.
