Rashi, on Neh 13:5

“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.”

“And he made Eliashib [made]. in previous times Before I came to Jerusalem, they would put [them] there. which were ordained for the Levites the gifts due the Levites.”
