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.
