* In those days also saw I Jews that had married wives of Ashdod , of Ammon , and of Moab Mow #abiy #: * And their children spake half in the speech of Ashdod , and could not speak in the Jews language , but according to the language of each people . * And I contended with them , and cursed them , and smote certain of them , and plucked off their hair , and made them swear by God , saying , Ye shall not give your daughters unto their sons , nor take their daughters unto your sons , or for yourselves . * Did not Solomon king of Israel sin by these things ? yet among many nations was there no king like him , who was beloved of his God , and God made him king over all Israel Yisra #el #: nevertheless even him did outlandish women cause to sin . * Shall we then hearken unto you to do all this great evil , to transgress against our God in marrying strange wives ? * And one of the sons of Joiada , the son of Eliashib the high priest , was son in law to Sanballat the Horonite : therefore I chased him from me .
