Nehemiah 13:24-26

Revised Geneva Translation

²⁴ And half their children spoke in the language of Ashdod and could not speak in the Jews’ language (and according to the language of the people), but of other people.

²⁵ Then I reproved them and cursed them and struck some of them and pulled out their hair and took an oath from them by God, “You shall not give your daughters to their sons. Nor shall you take of their daughters to your sons or for yourselves.

²⁶ “Did not Solomon, the king of Israel, sin by these things? Yet, there was no king like him among many nations. For he was beloved by his God. And God had made him king over Israel. Yet, strange women caused him to sin.
