And he had prepared for him a great chamber
In the temple, by throwing together several chambers, as Piscator observes:

the vessels, and the tithes of the corn, the new wine, and the oil,
which was commanded to be given to the Levites, and to the singers,
and the porters, and the offerings of the priests;
see ( Nehemiah 10:37-39 ) ( 12:44 ) .

Nechemyah 13:5 In-Context

3 Now it came to pass, when they had heard the Torah, that they separated from Yisroel all the foreign descent.

4 And before this, Elyashiv the Kohen, having the oversight of the storeroom of the Beis Eloheinu, was allied unto Toviyah;

5 And he had prepared for him a great chamber, where aforetime they laid the minchah, the levonah, and the vessels, and the ma’aser of the grain, the tirosh, and the oil, which was commanded to be given to the Levi’im, and the singers, and the gatekeepers; and the terumat hakohanim.

6 But in all this time was not I at Yerushalayim; for in the two and thirtieth year of Artachshasta Melech Bavel came I unto HaMelech, and after certain days obtained I leave of HaMelech;

7 And I came to Yerushalayim, and understood of the evil that Elyashiv did for Toviyah, in preparing him a chamber in the courts of the Beis HaElohim.
