10And I learned that the portions of the Levites had not been given, so the Levites and the singers who did the work had each fled to his field.

11So I contended with the officials and said, “Why has the house of God been neglected?” Then I gathered them and stationed them at their posts.

12And all Judah brought the tithe of the grain, the new wine, and the oil into the storehouses.

13And I appointed over the storerooms Shelemiah the priest, Zadok the scribe, and Pedaiah from the Levites, and Hanan son of Zaccur, son of Mattaniah, at their side, because they were considered faithful; and it was upon them to distribute to their brothers.

14Remember me for this, my God, and do not wipe out my deeds of covenant faithfulness that I have done for the house of my God and for its services.
