Nehemiah 13:27
Shall we then hearken unto you - If God spared not Solomon, who was so much beloved of Him, shall we spare you, who by your conduct are bringing down God' s judgments upon Israel?
25 So I acontended with them and cursed them, struck some of them and pulled out their hair, and made them bswear by God, saying, “You shall not give your daughters as wives to their sons, nor take their daughters for your sons or yourselves.
26 aDid not Solomon king of Israel sin by these things? Yet among many nations there was no king like him, bwho was beloved of his God; and God made him king over all Israel. cNevertheless pagan women caused even him to sin.
27 Should we then hear of your doing all this great evil, atransgressing against our God by marrying pagan women?”
28 And one of the sons aof Joiada, the son of Eliashib the high priest, was a son-in-law of bSanballat the Horonite; therefore I drove him from me.
29 aRemember them, O my God, because they have defiled the priesthood and bthe covenant of the priesthood and the Levites.
