Then Ezra left the house of God. He went to Jehohanan's room. Jehohanan was the son of Eliashib. While Ezra was there, he didn't eat any food. He didn't drink any water. That's because he was filled with sadness. He sobbed because the people weren't faithful to the Lord's commands. Those people were the ones who had returned from Babylonia.

Verse Explanation
Ezra left the area in front of the Temple and went to the room of Jehohanan son of Eliashib. There he continued to mourn over the unfaithfulness of the returned exiles and refused to eat or drink because of the seriousness of the situation.
History
