Nehemiah 13:23-28

23In thoseH1992 daysH3117 I alsoH1571 sawH7200 JewsH3064 who had marriedH3427 womenH802 from AshdodH796, AmmonH5984, and MoabH4125. 24HalfH2677 of their childrenH1121 spokeH1696 the language of AshdodH797 or ofH3956 the other peoplesH5971, but couldH5234 notH369 speakH1696 the language of JudahH3066. 25I rebuked themH7378H5973 and called down curses on themH7043. I beatH5221 some of these menH582 and pulled out their hairH4803.

Then I made them take an oathH7650 before GodH430 and said, “You must notH518 give your daughtersH1323 in marriageH5414 to their sonsH1121H518 or takeH5375 their daughtersH1323 as wives for your sonsH1121 or for yourselves! 26Did notH3808 KingH4428 SolomonH8010 of IsraelH3478 sinH2398 inH5921 matters like thisH428? There wasH1961 notH3808 a kingH4428 like himH3644 among manyH7227 nationsH1471, and he wasH1961 lovedH157 by his GodH430, who made himH5414 kingH4428 overH5921 allH3605 IsraelH3478—yetH1571 foreignH5237 womenH802 drew him into sinH853H2398. 27Must we now hearH8085 that you too are doingH6213 allH3605 thisH2063 terribleH1419 evilH7451 and acting unfaithfullyH4603 against our GodH430 by marryingH3427 foreignH5237 womenH802?”

28Even one of the sonsH1121 of JehoiadaH3111 sonH1121 of EliashibH475 the highH1419 priestH3548 had become a son-in-lawH2860 to SanballatH5571 the HoroniteH2772. Therefore I drove him awayH1272 from meH5921.
