Eliashib was the priest in charge of the temple storerooms. He was in cohorts with Tobiah, possibly a relative. Tobiah, who was clearly resistant to God’s true work in rebuilding and reinstituting authentic worship in Jerusalem, was underhandedly given a large room for personal use. These rooms were supposed to be for supplies and offerings strictly for the Levites. How did this happen???

Whenever personal gain is placed ahead of authentic Kingdom function, there is a level of corruption.

When Nehemiah heard what had happened, he quickly returned to Jerusalem, threw Tobiah out on his ear, and restored the intended system. Judgement begins IN GOD’S HOUSE.
