Nehemiah 13:5-7
Holman Christian Standard Bible
5 and had prepared a large room for him where they had previously stored the grain offerings, the frankincense, the articles, and the tenths of grain, new wine, and oil(A) prescribed for the Levites, singers, and gatekeepers, along with the contributions for the priests.(B)
6 While all this was happening, I was not in Jerusalem, because I had returned to King Artaxerxes(C) of Babylon(D) in the thirty-second year of his reign.(E) It was only later that I asked the king for a leave of absence(F) 7 so I could return to Jerusalem. Then I discovered the evil that Eliashib had done on behalf of Tobiah by providing him a room in the courts of God’s house.

Nehemiah 13:5-7
New International Version
5 and he had provided him with a large room formerly used to store the grain offerings and incense and temple articles, and also the tithes(A) of grain, new wine and olive oil prescribed for the Levites, musicians and gatekeepers, as well as the contributions for the priests.
6 But while all this was going on, I was not in Jerusalem, for in the thirty-second year of Artaxerxes(B) king of Babylon I had returned to the king. Some time later I asked his permission 7 and came back to Jerusalem. Here I learned about the evil thing Eliashib(C) had done in providing Tobiah(D) a room in the courts of the house of God.
