Nehemiah 13:7 Meaning and Commentary

Nehemiah 13:7

And I came to Jerusalem
Through the king's leave, and with a commission from him:

and understood of the evil that Eliashib did for Tobiah;
was informed of the mal-administration of his office:

in preparing him a chamber in the courts of the house of God;
whereby it was profaned and polluted.
