Nehemiah 13:25-27

Names of God Bible

²⁵ So I reprimanded those Jews, cursed them, beat some of them, and pulled out their hair. I made them swear by Elohim: “We won’t allow our daughters to marry their sons, and we won’t allow their daughters to marry us or our sons.” ²⁶ I said, “Wasn’t it because of marriages like these that King Solomon of Israel sinned? There wasn’t a king like him among all nations. Elohim loved him, and Elohim made him king of all Israel. But his non-Israelite wives led him to sin. ²⁷ Should we follow your example, commit such a serious crime against our Elohim, and be unfaithful to him by marrying non-Israelite women?”
