Contextual Overview
1 And on that day they read in the book of Moses in the hearing of the people: and therein was found written, that the Ammonites and the Moabites should not come in to the church of God for ever: 2 Because they met not the children of Israel with bread and water: and they hired against them Balaam, to curse them, and our God turned the curse into blessing. 3 And it came to pass, when they had heard the law, that they separated every stranger from Israel. 4 And over this thing was Eliasib the priest, who was set over the treasury of the house of our God, and was near akin to Tobias. 5 And he made him a great storeroom, where before him they laid up gifts, and frankincense, and vessels, and the tithes of the corn, of the wine, and of the oil, the portions of the Levites, and of the singing men, and of the porters, and the firstfruits of the priests. 6 But in all this time I was not in Jerusalem, because in the two and thirtieth year of Artaxerxes king of Babylon, I went to the king, and after certain days I asked the king: 7 And I came to Jerusalem, and I understood the evil that Eliasib had done for Tobias, to make him a storehouse in the courts of the house of God. 8 And it seemed to me exceeding evil. And I cast forth the vessels of the house of Tobias out of the storehouse. 9 And I commanded and they cleansed again the vessels of the house of God, the sacrifice, and the frankincense.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Then I commanded, and they cleansed the chambers,.... By which it appears there were more than one, or that several were thrown into one; which was done not only by washing them, but as this was a ceremonial uncleanness, contracted by the habitation of an Heathen in them, their purification might be by the water of separation, Numbers 19:9
and thither brought I again the vessels of the house of God, with the meat offering and the frankincense; replaced them where they were before.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The chambers - The “great chamber” assigned to Tobiah Nehemiah 13:5 contained, it would seem, more than one apartment.
