Nehemiah 13:5-7
New American Standard Bible 1995
5 had prepared a large [a]room for him, where formerly they put the grain offerings, the frankincense, the utensils and the tithes of grain, wine and oil (A)prescribed for the Levites, the singers and the gatekeepers, and the [b]contributions for the priests. 6 But during all this time I was not in Jerusalem, for in (B)the thirty-second year of (C)Artaxerxes king of Babylon I had gone to the king. After some time, however, I asked leave from the king, 7 and I came to Jerusalem and [c]learned about the evil that Eliashib had done for Tobiah, (D)by preparing a [d]room for him in the courts of the house of God.

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.
