Chapter 13
On
that
day
they
read
in
the
booke
of
Moses
in
the
audience
of
the
people,
and
therein
was
found
written,
that
the
Ammonite
and
the
Moabite
should
not
come
into
the
Congregation
of
God
for
euer,
2
Because
they
met
not
the
children
of
Israel
with
bread,
and
with
water,
but
hired
Balaam
against
them,
that
he
should
curse
them:
howbeit
our
God
turned
the
curse
into
a
blessing.
3
Now
it
came
to
passe
when
they
had
heard
the
law,
that
they
separated
from
Israel
all
the
mixed
multitude.
4
And
before
this
Eliashib
the
priest
hauing
the
ouersight
of
the
chamber
of
the
house
of
our
God,
was
allied
vnto
Tobiah:
5
And
hee
had
prepared
for
him
a
great
chamber,
where
aforetime
they
laid
the
meat
offrings,
the
frankincense
and
the
vessels,
and
the
tithes
of
the
corne,
the
new
wine,
and
the
oile,
which
was
commanded
to
be
giuen
to
the
Leuites,
and
the
singers,
and
the
porters,
and
the
offerings
of
the
priests.
6
But
in
all
this
time
was
not
I
at
Ierusalem:
for
in
the
two
and
thirtieth
yeere
of
Artaxerxes
king
of
Babylon,
came
I
vnto
the
king,
and
after
certaine
dayes,
obtained
I
leaue
of
the
King:
7
And
I
came
to
Ierusalem,
and
vnderstood
of
the
euil
that
Eliashib
did
for
Tobiah,
in
preparing
him
a
chamber
in
the
courts
of
the
house
of
God.
8
And
it
grieued
me
sore,
therefore
I
cast
foorth
all
the
houshold
stuffe
of
Tobiah
out
of
the
chamber:
9
Then
I
commanded,
and
they
cleansed
the
chambers,
and
thither
brought
I
againe
the
vessels
of
the
house
of
God,
with
the
meate
offering,
and
the
frankincense.
10
And
I
perceiued
that
the
portions
of
the
Leuites
had
not
beene
giuen
them:
for
the
Leuites
and
the
singers
that
did
the
worke,
were
fled
euery
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.
12
Then
brought
all
Iudah
the
tithe
of
the
corne,
and
the
new
wine,
and
the
oyle,
vnto
the
treasuries.
13
And
I
made
treasurers
ouer
the
treasuries,
Shelemiah
the
priest,
and
Zadok
the
scribe,
and
of
the
Leuites,
Pedaiah:
and
next
to
them
was
Hanan
the
sonne
of
Zaccur,
the
sonne
of
Mattaniah:
for
they
were
counted
faithfull,
and
their
office
was
to
distribute
vnto
their
brethren.
14
Remember
me,
O
my
God,
concerning
this,
and
wipe
not
out
my
good
deeds,
that
I
haue
done
for
the
house
of
my
God,
and
for
the
offices
thereof.
15
In
those
dayes
sawe
I
in
Iudah,
some
treading
wine
presses
on
the
Sabbath,
and
bringing
in
sheaues,
and
lading
asses,
as
also
wine,
grapes,
and
figs,
and
all
maner
of
burdens,
which
they
brought
into
Ierusalem
on
the
Sabbath
day:
and
I
testified
against
them
in
the
day
wherein
they
solde
victuals.
16
There
dwelt
men
of
Tyre
also
therein,
which
brought
fish
and
all
maner
of
ware,
and
solde
on
the
Sabbath
vnto
the
children
of
Iudah,
and
in
Ierusalem.
17
Then
I
contended
with
the
Nobles
of
Iudah,
and
sayd
vnto
them,
What
euill
thing
is
this
that
ye
doe,
and
profane
the
Sabbath
day?
18
Did
not
your
fathers
thus,
and
did
not
our
God
bring
all
this
euill
vpon
vs,
and
vpon
this
citie?
yet
ye
bring
more
wrath
vpon
Israel,
by
profaning
the
Sabbath.
19
And
it
came
to
passe,
that
when
the
gates
of
Ierusalem
beganne
to
be
darke
before
the
Sabbath,
I
commanded
that
the
gates
should
be
shut,
and
charged
that
they
should
not
be
opened
till
after
the
Sabbath:
and
some
of
my
seruants
set
I
at
the
gates,
that
there
should
no
burden
be
brought
in
on
the
Sabbath
day.
20
So
the
merchants,
and
sellers
of
all
kinde
of
ware,
lodged
without
Ierusalem
once
or
twice.
21
Then
I
testified
against
them,
and
said
vnto
them,
Why
lodge
yee
about
the
wall?
If
ye
doe
so
againe,
I
will
lay
hands
on
you.
From
that
time
forth
came
they
no
more
on
the
Sabbath.
22
And
I
commanded
the
Leuites,
that
they
should
cleanse
themselues,
and
that
they
should
come
and
keepe
the
gates,
to
sanctifie
the
Sabbath
day:
Remember
me,
O
my
God,
concerning
this
also,
and
spare
me,
according
to
the
greatnesse
of
thy
mercie.
23
In
those
dayes
also
sawe
I
Iewes
that
had
maried
wiues
of
Ashdod,
of
Ammon,
and
of
Moab:
24
And
their
children
spake
halfe
in
the
speech
of
Ashdod,
and
could
not
speake
in
the
Iewes
language,
but
according
to
the
language
of
ech
people.
25
And
I
contended
with
them,
and
cursed
them,
and
smote
certeine
of
them,
and
pluckt
off
their
haire,
and
made
them
sweare
by
God,
saying,
Yee
shall
not
giue
your
daughters
vnto
their
sonnes,
nor
take
their
daughters
vnto
your
sonnes,
or
for
your
selues.
26
Did
not
Solomon
king
of
Israel
sinne
by
these
things?
yet
among
many
nations
was
there
no
king
like
him,
who
was
beloued
of
his
God,
and
God
made
him
king
ouer
all
Israel:
neuerthelesse,
euen
him
did
outlandish
women
cause
to
sinne.
27
Shall
wee
then
hearken
vnto
you,
to
doe
all
this
great
euill,
to
transgresse
against
our
God,
in
marrying
strange
wiues?
28
And
one
of
the
sonnes
of
Ioiada,
the
sonne
of
Eliashib
the
high
Priest,
was
sonne
in
law
to
Sanballat
the
Horonite:
therfore
I
chased
him
from
me.
29
Remember
them,
O
my
God,
because
they
haue
defiled
the
Priesthood,
and
the
couenant
of
the
Priesthood,
and
of
the
Leuites.
30
Thus
cleansed
I
them
from
all
strangers,
and
appointed
the
wards
of
the
Priests
and
the
Leuites,
euery
one
in
his
businesse:
31
And
for
the
wood-offering,
at
times
appointed,
and
for
the
first
fruits.
Remember
me,
O
my
God,
for
good.
