Nehemiah 13:25-27
1599 Geneva Bible
25 Then I reproved them, and [a]cursed them, and smote certain of them, and pulled off their hair, and took an oath of them by God, Ye shall not give your daughters unto their sons, neither shall ye take of their daughters unto your sons nor for yourselves.
26 (A)Did not Solomon the king of Israel sin by these things? yet among many nations was there no King like him: for he was (B)beloved of his God, and God had made him King over Israel: (C)yet strange women caused him to sin.
27 Shall we then obey unto you, to do all this great evil, and to transgress against our God, even to marry strange wives?
