2. However, there was a time that Nehemiah discovered that all the Levites and singers had abandoned the temple and returned to their occupation because they have not being giving tithe and offering – vs. 10-11 ¹⁰ And I perceived that the portions of the Levites had not been given them: for the Levites and the singers, that did the work, were fled every one to his field. ¹¹ Then contended I with the rulers, and said, Why is the house of God forsaken? And I gathered them together, and set them in their place.
