Nehemiah 13:23-28

23In those daysH3117 also I sawH7200 JewsH3064 that had marriedH3427 womenH802 of AshdodH796, of AmmonH5984, and of MoabH4125:1 24And their childrenH1121 spokeH1696 halfH2677 in the speech of AshdodH797, and couldH5234 not speakH1696 in the Jews’ languageH3066, but according to the languageH3956 of eachH5971 peopleH5971.23 25And I contendedH7378 with them, and cursedH7043 them, and smoteH5221 certainH582 of them, and plucked off their hairH4803, and made them swearH7650 by GodH430, saying, Ye shall not giveH5414 your daughtersH1323 to their sonsH1121, nor takeH5375 their daughtersH1323 to your sonsH1121, or for yourselves.4 26Did not SolomonH8010 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 sinH2398 by these things? yet among manyH7227 nationsH1471 was there no kingH4428 like him, who was belovedH157 by his GodH430, and GodH430 madeH5414 him kingH4428 over all IsraelH3478: nevertheless even himH1571 did foreignH5237 womenH802 cause to sinH2398. 27Shall we then hearkenH8085 to you to doH6213 all this greatH1419 evilH7451, to transgressH4603 against our GodH430 in marryingH3427 foreignH5237 womenH802? 28And one of the sonsH1121 of JoiadaH3111, the sonH1121 of EliashibH475 the highH1419 priestH3548, was son in lawH2860 to SanballatH5571 the HoroniteH2772: therefore I drove him awayH1272 from me.
