Contextual Overview

¹⁰ Then I found out the people were not giving the Levites their shares. So the Levites and singers who served had gone back to their own farms. ¹¹ I argued with the officers, saying, "Why haven't you taken care of the Temple?" Then I gathered the Levites and singers and put them back at their places. ¹² All the people of Judah then brought to the storerooms a tenth of their crops, new wine, and olive oil. ¹³ I put these men in charge of the storerooms: Shelemiah the priest, Zadok the teacher, and Pedaiah a Levite. I made Hanan son of Zaccur, the son of Mattaniah, their helper. Everyone knew they were honest. They gave out the portions that went to their relatives. ¹⁴ Remember me, my God, for this. Do not ignore my love for the Temple and its service.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And I perceived that the portion of the Levites had not been given them,.... The tithes, being removed to some other place, might be converted to another use; or the people, seeing what was done by Eliashib, neglected to bring them in, as judging they would not be properly disposed of; and besides, the Levites had deserted their station upon this:

for the Levites and the singers that did the work were fled everyone to his field; to look after their country farms, or to get their living by agriculture, since there was no care taken of them at Jerusalem; see Nehemiah 12:28.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

etc. During Nehemiah’s absence there had been a general falling away, and there was danger of a complete national apostasy.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Nehemiah 13:10. The portions of the Levites had not been given — Hence we find they were obliged to abandon the sacred service, and betake themselves to cultivate the land for their support. This was the fault of the rulers, who permitted all these abuses.
