Nehemiah 13:28

Compare all

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.

30 ^aThus I cleansed them of everything pagan. I also ^bassigned duties to the priests and the Levites, each to his service,

31 and to bringing ^athe wood offering and the firstfruits at appointed times. ^bRemember me, O my God, for good!

Nehemiah 13:28

One of the sons of Joiada - This was Manasseh, brother of Jaddua, son of Joiada, and grandson of Eliashib the high priest.

I chased him from me - Struck him off the list of the priests, and deemed him utterly unworthy of all connection and intercourse with truly religious people.
