8 and it greued me sore, & I cast forth all the vessels of the house of Tobia out of the chambre,
9 and commaunded them to clense the chambres. And thither brought I agayne the vessels of the house of God, with the meatoffering, and the incense.
10 And I perceaued, that the porcions of the Leuites were not geuen them, and that euery one fled to his land, euen the Leuites and syngers that executed the worke.
11 Then reproued I the rulers, & sayd? why is the house of God forsaken? And I gathered them together, & set them in their place.
12 Then brought all Iuda the tythes of corne, & wyne and oyle vnto the treasure.
13 And I made treasurers ouer the treasure, euen Selemiah the preast, & Zadoc the scrybe, and of the Leuites, Phadaia, & vnder their hand was Hanan the sonne of Zacur the sonne of Mathania: for they were counted faythfull, and their office was to distribute the porcions vnto their brethren.
